Wissenschaftler*innen, Studierende und Beschäftigte an der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar kommunizieren täglich miteinander, arbeiten an Projekten und erschaffen Neues. Doch wie gelangen die Ergebnisse ihrer Arbeit an die Öffentlichkeit? Für die vielen Möglichkeiten, wie eine Nachricht ihren Weg an die richtigen Zielgruppen findet, gibt es ab sofort einen neuen Leitfaden.

Mysterious, magical, and at the same time familiar and learnable – this is how Dr. Simon Frisch understands teaching. Frisch has been Vice President of Student and Academic Affairs for the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s Presidium since 2023. He has been teaching for over 25 years, more than 10 of these at the Faculty of Media where he is a lecturer for Film and Media Studies. As Vice President, he raises some highly pertinent questions: How can we use AI effectively in a university context? How are reading and writing evolving as a result of new technologies? How can studying and teaching change, and what does good teaching mean anyway? Frisch wants to change how we look at the »new« teaching and learning and to help us overcome our fear of engaging with new practices.

Vom 8. April bis 27. Mai 2024 wird im Foyer der Universitätsbibliothek Bauhaus-Universität Weimar eine Ausstellung über das immaterielle Kulturerbe in Thüringen zu sehen sein. Zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung am 8. April, 17 Uhr, sind Interessierte herzlich eingeladen.

That was the 2024 Leipzig Book Fair: From 21 to 24 March, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar was represented for the first time since 2019. A highly interactive stand titled »Even more reading, even more writing. Neues Schreiben – neues Lesen«, designed by a team of ambitious students, was staged in the exhibition area for art schools.

On Thursday 11 April, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will launch its 2024 focal point »Demokratie stärken«. All university members are warmly invited to have a look at current projects, exchange ideas and help generate new ideas at the Bauhaus.Atelier from 3 to 5 pm.

The Faculty of Civil Engineering was established 70 years ago at the University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (HAB), which is now known as the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Since then, the requirements of the construction industry have changed considerably. To address challenges such as the energy and climate crisis, the digital revolution, and the shortage of skilled labour in the engineering sector, the faculty will undergo a strategic realignment under a new name starting in April 2024. In the future, there will be a growing emphasis on sustainable and resource-efficient construction in research and education.

From 6 to 13 April 2024, an interdisciplinary team of current students and graduates from the fields of architecture, Fine Art and media will present various interdisciplinary works on the question of an architecture of the personal space of the participants. During the exhibition period, there will be a programme of performances and an artist talk.
