 The explanation of the Luebecker of mayor in the wording:

 
“We Luebecker submitted a outstanding concept, which found large interest and acknowledgment the far beyond city boundaries for the Multimedia Campus.  While the application phase in the Hanseatic city a great departure tendency developed.  Luebecker enterprises, the economic organizations, existence founders, politics and administration, media and universities argued in new team spirit and with passionate commitment for the common success of Luebeck.  For the various and impressive support I thank all involved ones much.

The new we feeling, the developed departure tendency applies to retain and develop it for the future.  Therefore we want with the forces involved from economics and science the three core elements of our concept despite the Kieler decision to realize and on the barrier peninsula a European “center for digitally Media in such a way ”establish.  It concerns a medium center, which holds the necessary infrastructure ready in the hard and software range for existence founders and settlement-willing enterprises, as well as around a founder park, in which such enterprises can the necessary surrounding field for good start find and develop.

The federal state government promised to thank-worth way to support the realization of these two components with conveyances from the regional program 2000 in an order of magnitude of up to 7,5 to 8 million Marks.

Besides we have the intention of creating in Luebeck as the third component a private further training mechanism for the post office graduating qualification at which internationally recognized conclusions can be acquired.  Such a further training mechanism, which is to likewise develop on the barrier peninsula and also as institute for on at the medical university to Luebeck can be operated, finances itself alone from Sponsoringmitteln and study fees;  the employment of public means is not necessary.  This mechanism is to differ clearly from the national project in Kiel, a co-operation with that MMC in Kiel is possible.  The federal state government is ready to examine their participation in the development of this project in tuning with and in bordering for the national project in Kiel.

With these three components the core elements of our concept can be now carried out;  the creation of the two further components of our concept - the Research center and the Unternehmensparkes - remains possible in further development phases.

The center for digitally Media sharpens the profile of the Hanseatic city Luebeck as location for enterprises within the ranges computers, computer science and Multimedia.  With the university and its computer science course of studies as well as with the professional school and their master project of the virtual professional school as well as with a set of enterprises, which are from Luebeck from most successfully active on the national and international markets, our city on this sector has to offer already now much.  The center gives us the chance to develop our strengths further to produce new growth and create new jobs.  ” + + +
