Chancellors are discussing the future of university construction in Weimar

Every year the Chancellor meets German universities to exchange ideas about current topics and challenges. This year the annual conference from September 19 to 21 will take place at the renowned Bauhaus University in Weimar. This meeting is under the main topic "University construction despite crises" and attracts around 100 participants from all over the federal territory.

The conference offers a platform for specialists from the field of university construction, including architect and engineer to present their best practice examples and innovative visions. The focus is not only on the structural challenges that have to be created in order to develop sustainable campus, but also on the pressing topics such as climate protection, financial restrictions and resource shortage in the construction industry.

A look at the program

The program of the conference promises a variety of lectures that are kept by experienced architects and engineers. These experts should not only present best practice models, but also actively enter into dialogue with the participants. A central concern of the event is to illuminate the possibilities of universities on how to contribute to resource -saving building. In particular, it is discussed how construction projects can be successfully implemented despite the tense financial situation.

Another important aspect is the increased cooperation between universities, countries and the federal government in order to tackle the existing renovation backlog in university construction. Dr. Horst Henrici, the Chancellor of the Bauhaus University, emphasizes that the universities are able to provide scientifically sound solutions for future-oriented building, and that it is of crucial importance to manage these challenges together.

For the official opening of the conference, prominent speakers will have their say, including Carsten Feller, State Secretary of the Thuringian Ministry of Science, and the spokesman for the Association of Chancellor, Dieter Kaufmann. The President of the Bauhaus University, Prof. Peter Benz, and Dr. Horst Henrici will address your greetings to the gathered.

networking and exchange

In addition to the lectures and discussions, the networking of the participants is also promoted. A reception of the Mayor of Weimar, Peter Kleine, in the town hall, as well as a student tour through the UNESCO World Heritage building of the university are also on the agenda. These opportunities serve to strengthen the collegial exchange and cooperation within the university community.

The conference is organized by the Bauhaus further education academy Weimar e.V., which acts as an institute of the Bauhaus University. The event not only offers a platform for the exchange of knowledge, but also supports the important discussion about the future of university construction in times of crises.
