Our vision...
Astronomy and astrophysics are on the threshold of fundamentally new insights into the nature of the universe.They combine all facets of modern technologies and are drivers of economic development. The establishment of a German Center for Astrophysics (DZA) with international appeal is an essential impulse for a future-oriented change in Lusatia.
