Courageous - With - Do

The LCC introduces itself

What does the LCC stand for, what do municipal companies and the foundation do?

Educational platform for all

The LCC is an independently operating educational platform for all: Here, different partners can offer education for different target groups. It is important that the educational offerings fit the regional needs in the Kronach district. Accordingly, in addition to academic education, the LCC is also active in continuing vocational education (e.g., certificate course in digitization) and in supporting school education (e.g., LCC FabLab, student seminars).

Enabler

The LCC enables people and organizations (companies, associations, schools) to put their projects into practice. This can be, for example, a research project, a study, the path to self-employment or a cultural event. The LCC offers a platform to all those who want to courageously join in and bring our region forward with fresh ideas.

In particular, the LCC Foundation acts as a multiplier of the regional needs of companies as well as public institutions and thus becomes an enabler for the university's commitment to education and research in the district of Kronach. For its part, the LCC municipal enterprise creates the infrastructural basis for this (e.g. teaching and research facilities, business premises).

Two organizations, one spirit

The LCC is a true community project. For this purpose, there is the LCC Kommunalunternehmen, which takes care of the infrastructure (e.g. teaching rooms, apartments). In addition, there is the LCC Foundation, which fulfills a hinge function between university partners and partners in the region (e.g. companies, associations, schools). For both organizations, the LCC motto applies: Courageous - With - Doing.

Regional development

Together, LCC Kommunalunternehmen and LCC Stiftung are working with many partners to sustainably increase the future viability of the Kronach district. For example, the LCC Kommunalunternehmen converts existing vacancies into university space or modern residential and commercial premises. In addition, the LCC Kommunalunternehmen operates subsidized housing construction and redesigns public spaces (e.g. Hussitenplatz) and rooms (e.g. LCC FabLab) for the benefit of the entire population. The LCC Foundation facilitates the all-important transfer of knowledge between universities, students and companies.
