Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lars Abrahamczyk

On Friday, August 23rd, Bauhaus University Weimar welcomed a prestigious delegation from Uzbekistan, comprising 12 high-ranking members from various sectors, including science, government, and construction. The aim of the meeting was to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation and enhance the exchange of knowledge in research and teaching.

Professor Jan Willmann and Junior Professor Lars Abrahamczyk have successfully applied for one of nine fellowships from the Stifterverband and the Thuringian Ministry of Economics with their project »Robotic Tectonics – Robot-based teaching and learning environment for automated construction processes« (RoboTec). Around 50,000 euros are now available for an interdisciplinary teaching format designed to teach students how to use robotic arms in practice. The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar has already benefited several times from the funding for innovations in digital university teaching in Thuringia in order to develop new teaching projects.

As part of the ongoing project titled "Towards Earthquake Mitigation in Iraq: EMS-98 Adopted Vulnerability Assessment of Existing Buildings," a research stay in Germany was conducted under the DAAD-funded Ta’ziz Short-Term Measures 2024 program. Coordinated by Bauhaus-University Weimar (BUW) in partnership with the University of Sulaimani (UoS) and Tishk International University (TIU), the project aims to enhance the seismic resilience of buildings in northern Iraq through collaboration and knowledge exchange between German and Iraqi academic institutions.
