Due to the current, rapid spread of the corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) our educational trail “Carbon Discovery Trail” cannot open as planned on April 25th. The Saxon State Exhibition, which the educational trail is based on, and in particular the opening of the “Silver Boom” in Freiberg, have been postponed to an indefinite date.
Further information will follow on this page as soon as an opening date is known.

Due to the dynamic spread of the Corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) at the moment, we need to cancel our Girl’s Day offer “Female Engineer 4.0 – From waste problems to future fuels and e-mobility” at March 26, 2020. We hope that all of you stay healthy and we will be able to offer events again in the near future.

This is the question that apprentices at the SFZ Chemnitz ask themselves in their project “Our ecological footprint”. They were particularly interested in how to use energy efficiently and provide it in an environmentally friendly way. In order to get more background knowledge, 8 apprentices of the 1st year came to IEC with their teachers on February 26th, 2020.
The young people, who are training in professions such as IT specialists and cutting mechanics, first got an insight into the energy supply of Germany and the research work at IEC by research associate Michaela Nguyen. Related to the motto “Energy today and tomorrow”, the apprentices also learned how to reduce their personal CO2 emissions. Many of them were surprised how much CO2 is released by flying, for example.
After the theoretical part, the operational engineer Mr. Küttner led the youngsters through some of our large-scale test facilities. In the slagging fixed-bed gasification plant (SBV), they learned how to make CO and H2 based synthesis gas from coal, biomass or waste. This synthesis gas can then be used in the Syngas-to-Fuel (StF) test facility for the production of synthetic gasoline. It was also exciting for the participants to visit the control room, where the systems are controlled and monitored.
We hope to see SFZ again soon!

Are you passionate about technology and want to face the problems of the future? Here is the right thing for you!
March 26th, 2020 is Girls Day – on that day, girls will get to know jobs in technology, IT, handicrafts and sciences. They are going to take a look around at companies or discover courses in the fields of science and technology at universities like TU Freiberg.
On this occassion, we woud like to take you on a journey into the diverse world of process engineering. We clarify questions like: What is process engineering anyway? Which research topics are relevant at the moment, which kind of jobs are possible, how is the course of studies? You will be able to talk to female engineers at the institute and actively join exciting experiments. And the best of all: we have prepared something very special for you in the end – you can be excited!
Register and come to our institute. You will find everything about the program and registration here.
So why leave it to men? Take your chance!
