Examples of international projects
The internationality of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar enriches the academic activities on campus in many ways and opens new perspectives to artistic and scientific professional fields. In the following, we present several examples of our current international projects.
VIA CRUCIS - Performance Project with Robert Wilson
The American director, light designer and magician Robert Wilson is collaborating with students of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and young artists in several multi-semester workshops to graphically present the 14 stations of the cross in Franz Liszt’s composition “Via Crucis”. The College of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar is responsible for developing the musical elements of the project. The ideal venue for this installation-based performance is the former livestock auction hall in Weimar. The performances will be held during the “pèlerinages” Kunstfest Weimar from 1 to 8 September 2012.

From Addis Ababa to Weimar: GIZ strengthen German-Ethiopian collaboration
The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the faculty of architecture at the Addis Ababa University have cultivated a strong relationship in recent years. For example, Dirk Donath, professor of Architecture, has worked there as a guest professor since 2008. In July 2011, Jörn Schultz, a Swedish-born freelance consultant for the Society of International Collaboration (GIZ), was put in charge of promoting the partnership further. He initiated additional cooperative projects between the two universities and launched a new German-wide network centre: the “icebauhaus”.
The “iceaddis” centre recently opened on the campus of the Addis Ababa University with the aim of interconnecting IT specialists, creative minds and entrepreneurs.

The conservation and sustainable use of water is essential for the future of humanity. Secure access to water is one of the important requirements for ensuring economic and political stability in regions throughout the world. Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) offers a promising approach to managing this valuable resource in a sustainable manner. It aims to economically and socially maximise the use of water by means of a coordinated, transdisciplinary management strategy, while taking into account the need to preserve vital ecosystems.
Simulation worldwide
The Initial Training Networks (ITN-INSIST) is an EU-funded doctoral training programme with an annual budget of 3.85 million euros. The participants include the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and six other European partners, three of which are companies, and two associated partners from the United States. Thematically, all of the partners focus on combining geometric modelling and simulation. Three doctoral candidates are currently participating in this exchange programme at the Institute of Structural Mechanics in Weimar.

Networking internationally with Marie Curie
To more strongly promote academic mobility, the European Commission launched the Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES). The programme funds international networking activities and exchange of scientific personnel between European partners and cooperating institutions from other countries. The three international partners involved in the exchange programme IRSES-MULTIFRAC support the exchange of academics to share expertise concerning the computer-aided development of new materials. On the part of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, three scientists at the Institute of Structural Mechanics in the Faculty of Civil Engineering are currently participating in the exchange programme.

“Geopoly Tile” – Developing environmentally-friendly tiles through geopolymerisation
Immense amounts of energy and high CO2 emissions are required to manufacture traditional ceramic tiles. Because the tiles are hardened at temperatures of over 1000°C, the cost of energy comprises 25 to 30 percent of the total production costs. Geopolymer technology offers a means of significantly reducing the amount of energy required in the production process. Geopolymers - ceramics that harden at room temperature – are produced by means of alkaline activation of reactive alumosilicate materials, e.g. reactive clay.
