Structural change: the great challenge in the Saxon-Polish border region

How should the border region of Lusatia – Lower Silesia reposition itself in the light of the German coal phase-out? This was also the topic of intense discussion at the final conference of the TransGredio project in Boleslawiec (26.09.2022). On the Polish side in particular, there are strong fears of being left behind economically by the planned billion-euro investments in the Lusatian mining area. Developing cross-border perspectives for joint action remains a priority topic in the cooperation between the state of Saxony and the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
