Our Community

We see the Potsdam Science Park as a lively, cosmopolitan community and are convinced that a culture of networking can inspire ideas and even create friendships. That’s why we support them with ideas on how best to organise their free time – whether with new colleagues, old friends or even their own children. There is a lot to experience together in Potsdam and the surrounding area!
