For the second time, I was lead jury and mentor at the Decarbon Days Climathon event organised together with BTU Cottbus / Germany and Zielona Gora / Poland. This time, the event grew, the submission and pitch qualities increased, and even Tesla became a sponsor, awarding winning teams with free tours of the Berlin Gigafactory.

I'd like to thank the rest of the jury-team, including:

  • Matthias Ecke — Member of the European Parliament for Saxony
  • Lisa Janßen — Climate KIC
  • Daniela Hertzer — LEAG
  • Prof. Dr. Roh Pin Lee — Chair of Decarbonization and Transformation of Industry, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg
  • Dr.-Ing. Kamil Leksycki — Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, University of Zielona Góra
  • Czesław Fiedorowicz — Chairman of the Spree-Neiße-Bober Euroregion
  • Carsten Jacob — Managing Director of the German office of the Spree-Neiße-Bober Euroregion
