The representatives of ORCa came together with the First Mayor ofLangquaid , Herbert Blaschek, and the acting District Administrator of the Kelheim district, Martin Neumeyer, for the on-site exchange. Brigitte Kempny-Graf, who is responsible for business development in Langquaid, was also involved. On the ORCa side, Dr Moritz Bauer (transfer manager), Annalena Böck (project employee) and Sandra Schneider (business officer for the district of Kelheim) took part.
The extremely constructive discussion centred on possible forms of future cooperation between Markt Langquaid and the Open Regional Campus. Various approaches were discussed in order to interlink educational programmes, knowledge transfer and regional development even more closely. The dialogue partners agreed that there is considerable potential for sustainable strengthening of the region through cooperation.
"The meeting was characterised by an open, collaborative atmosphere and a shared desire to break new ground," emphasised Dr Moritz Bauer, Transfer Manager of the Open Regional Campus (ORCa). The importance of a strong network of local authorities, regional players and universities was particularly emphasised in order to jointly advance key future topics.
Even though the collaboration is still in its infancy, the first concrete ideas and starting points have already been developed. These are to be further concretised, operationally planned and gradually implemented in the coming weeks and months. Further progress will be reported in due course.
The meeting made it clear how great the shared interest in close and trusting cooperation is. Everyone involved is looking forward to the next steps with confidence and is looking forward to jointly developing the initiatives that have been launched and making them sustainable.
