2 institutes of the faculty partner of the EU Initiative „New European Bauhaus“

The initiative as an interdisciplinary creative movement aims to bring together diverse European stakeholders such as citizens, scientists and economy in an inclusive and participatory way.

Focusing on the urgent challenges of climate change, two institutes of the faculty, the Institute for Acoustics and Building Physics (IABP) and the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) supports this initiative as a partner. Thei IABP's research on the built urban environment and its transformation aims at the exchange and transfer of knowledge, e.g. on resource efficient systems for new constructions and renovation, at climate and culture responsive buildings and at healthy, green urban spaces. The ILEK also deals intensively with resource efficiency and "gray energy" .

With this knowledge, their activities and networks they will

• contribute, pick up and disseminate impulses,
• activate, connect and expand networks and stakeholders,
• initiate, coordinate, communicate and present projects,
• support students with up-to-date teaching material.
