SPIN 2030
With social media campaigns, events and many other measures, the SPIN2030 campaign brings the structures, research results and excellence of the state of science to life.
SPIN2030 is the campaign for Saxony as a center of science. It shows the minds that make Saxony so special as a research location (Faces of SPIN), provides an overview of the scientific institutions and allows a targeted search in an interactive research map. But SPIN2030 is much more than that: the Land of Science on four social media channels, national and international micro-campaigns, SPIN2030 on site with the people at events - and on roadshows through the Land of Science.
Never miss anything again: Subscribers to the SPIN2030 channels can find out what research is currently being carried out in the "News" every week. We also present all of Saxony's universities, colleges and non-university research institutions until summer 2024. Interested in research policy? The "On the road with the Minister of Science" section provides an insight into the work of the ministry.

Experience Saxony as a State of Science: SPIN2030 events
Kick-off event
At a brilliant launch event in February 2023, Minister President Kretschmer and Science Minister Gemkow gave the starting signal for the campaign "SPIN2030. Saxony as a land of science". The starting point of the campaign was an agenda that summarizes the science policy goals and priorities until 2030.
Open government district
At the Open Government Quarter in June 2023, Saxon scientific institutions presented current AI applications.
Long Night of the Sciences & Day of the Saxons
There's always something going on at the SPIN2030 stand - whether at the "Long Night of Science" in Dresden in June 2023 or at the "Day of Saxony" in Aue-Bad Schlema in September 2023...
Panel discussions
SPIN2030 shows what is being researched: During a panel discussion, scientists from Mittweida University of Applied Sciences and Science Minister Gemkow addressed the question of how artificial intelligence will shape our future.
New major research institutions
Two new large-scale research centers are being established in Saxony. At two events in Crostwitz (German Center for Astrophysics) and Delitzsch (Center for the Transformation of Chemistry) in January 2024, people found out how the local population will benefit, what research is being carried out at the facilities and what the current status of the foundation process is.
Science Festival SPIN2030
The SPIN2030 campaign, which launched the first ever Saxon-wide science festival, attracted no fewer than 8,000 visitors to the Dresden Technical Collections. Initiated by Minister of Science Sebastian Gemkow and the Ministry of Science, the festival offered a fascinating insight into the broad and diverse research landscape of the Free State. More than 50 Saxon scientific institutions showcased innovative projects and findings. A celebration of knowledge!
Die Echse gets smart – Today's stop: TU Bergakademie Freiberg
An evening for everyone eager to learn more: Hosted by none other than the artist Michael Hatzius in his role as "Die Echse," the show in Freiberg became an entertaining and educational experience. Together with Science Minister Gemkow and Professor Fieback, Vice-Rector of the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBAF), Die Echse explored the present and future of Saxony as a hub of science. Scientists from TUBAF provided insights into their research projects, and both Die Echse and the audience had the opportunity to ask questions.
BA Sachsen goes DHSN!
The Berufsakademie Sachsen, with its seven academies in Bautzen, Breitenbrunn, Dresden, Glauchau, Leipzig, Plauen, and Riesa, is becoming a Dual University. But what does that actually mean? What study options and degrees are available, and what significance does the Berufsakademie hold for each region? Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow, together with the teams from the seven academies, provided answers to these and other questions during the SPIN2030-DHSN tour.
Eine Frühschicht für mein Görlitz
On June 10th, the launch of the new event format by the Saxon Agency for Structural Development, in collaboration with the "SPIN2030" campaign of the Saxon Ministry of Science, took place.
Over 90 young people between the ages of 13 and 27 took the opportunity to advocate for their future and actively contribute to shaping the scientific and living environment of their homeland. In exciting workshops, together with experts from business, research, culture, and communication, inspiring ideas were developed around the topics of housing, infrastructure, studying, working, and leisure for Görlitz and the Lausitz region. These ideas were then presented and discussed in a pitch to a high-profile jury, including Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer and Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow.
