Prof. Dr. Nina Kolleck:

The largest addiction clinic for children and adolescents in Germany is closing.

From 2026 onwards, there will only be around 30 specialized therapy places for addicted children and adolescents in Germany.

A few days ago, Simon Schnetzer, Dr. Kilian Hampel, Klaus Hurrelmann and I presented our representative trend study “Youth in Germany 2026”:

-Around 60% of 14- to 29-year-olds exhibit problematic or addictive usage patterns (especially with smartphones).

-49% feel stressed, 36% exhausted.

-One in three reports needing psychological help.

-Up to 90% of affected young people do not receive therapy.

-Help often comes too late.

At the same time, we leave platforms largely unregulated whose systems are specifically designed for maximum use (endless scrolling, dopamine loops, algorithmic amplification).

We talk about mental health – but much of socialization now takes place on the platforms of large technology companies.

The meeting took place in the office of the dean of the Faculty of Economics (WNE) on the university campus on Kwiatkowskiego Street.

Koszalin University of Technology:

Czesław Lang, cyclist, Olympic silver medalist, sports promoter, cycling enthusiast, and director of the Tour de Pologne, visited Dr. Danuty Zawadzkiej, professor and rector of Koszalin University of Technology, on Monday, March 30. The meeting took place in the office of the dean of the Faculty of Economics (WNE) on the university campus on Kwiatkowskiego Street.

Czesław Lang was accompanied by Janusz Siluta from the Lang Team.

Czesław Lang recalled his childhood. “My first bicycle belonged to my mother,” he said of the beginnings of his career. “We rode without helmets, in cotton T-shirts with pockets for food. When the cyclist leaned forward, the food fell out.”

He also spoke about the Tour de Pologne, which he has been organizing with the Lang Team for 35 years: “We have raised the profile of the event to a world-class level. Few countries can boast a cycling race of this caliber.”

Czesław Lang gave a lecture to students, sharing his experiences in sports and business. The first stage of the 2026 Tour de Pologne (starting August 2nd) runs from Gdynia (in celebration of the city's 100th anniversary) to Koszalin (22 teams, 170 participants, 240 km). For Czesław Lang, choosing the Kashubian cities, his homeland where he began his career and to which he always enjoys returning, was a matter close to his heart.

Koszalin will be an important location on the map of this year's race.

"The regions have been able to act. To drive innovation. To be able to react quickly when needed. Regions are not part of the solution. Regions are the solution", said President Franck Leroy.

The 10th anniversary of the Congress of the Regions of France

President Frank Leroy described the content of the discussion as follows:

Today I am attending the congress celebrating the 10th anniversary of the regions of France.

Ten years. And a reality that no one can deny anymore: the regions are not mere administrative bodies. They are frontline actors.

I said it this afternoon in the panel discussion, and I repeat it: crises are not solved from the top down.

Solutions emerge in the regions, with those who know them, who live there, and who invest there.

The Grand Est region has 750 km of borders. A direct connection to four key European markets. A region that significantly influences the economy, employment, mobility, and the energy transition.

€327 in investments per capita per year. Significantly above the national average. Not just abstract figures: roads, training programs, supported businesses, and secure jobs.

What these 10 years have proven is a truth that has been ignored for far too long: the closer decision-making is to the local level, the more effective it is.

The regions have been able to act. To drive innovation. To be able to react quickly when needed. Regions are not part of the solution. Regions are the solution, said Franck Leroy, President of the Grand Est Region.

However, in light of the personal attacks currently circulating online against members of the judiciary, we feel compelled to issue the following statement:

State Secretary Dr. Diener: “Personal attacks and slander against judges must be firmly rejected. They cross the line into objective debate. The independence of the judiciary is a cornerstone of our rule of law. It must be respected.”
