Event opening

Block 1

Tristan More will present factors that will shape campuses and teaching in the coming decades - based on the Arup ́s newest 'The Future Ready University' report.
Pascale Leistra will look at the university campus and its essential role in a city's fabric. She will address questions such as: "How does a university campus evolve in time?" and "How can educational buildings adapt to future learning ways?".
Elisabeth Thuro and Hannah Thomas lead 'Plant a Seed', an interdisciplinary student initiative that applies research know-how to the main campus of the Technical University of Munich. Their living lab shows the potential of university spaces as an urban food supplier.
Matthias Faul will explore the link between universities and climate change. He will present how his work with TUM students defines today's spaces for future crises.

Block 3

Using the Corona Pandemic as a catalyzer for new learning formats, Anne Prill illustrates how we can design sustainable learning spaces in the future. New didactic approaches in teaching as well as the (further) development of digital skills among students and teachers require new approaches for future campus structures and the availability of learning spaces.
Dr. Ing. Piet van der Zanden evaluates the issues of present physical educational spaces to create qualitative hybrid experiences, now that many students return to campus.
