The second part of the event series will focus on a variety of questions about the future of our democracy. Democracy did not simply appear out of nowhere and it is not a guaranteed success. For the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the experiences of National Socialist, the GDR, reunification, and the post-reunification period all shaped and influenced the understanding of democracy, as was demonstrated in the last elections. How should universities deal with this? How should the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar deal with this?

Two Bauhaus-Universität Weimar student projects have made it to the final of the prestigious RIMOWA Design Prize 2025. The »TONBO« design by Marius Kintzel and Julian Solmsdorff and the »Standalone« design by Tom Kemter and Niels Cremer stood out to the international jury from the numerous entries submitted from across Germany. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 13 May 2025.

At least two million buildings have been destroyed in Syria as a result of the war. The majority of these buildings were concrete or steel structures. An international workshop scheduled to take place in Weimar on 24 and 25 April 2024 will focus on the rubble from these buildings can be recycled into valuable raw material. Nearly 100 partners from science, the industry, and politics, including the United Nations (UN), are expected to attend the event.

Ursula Damm, professor and media artist in the Faculty of Art and Design, has been awarded first prize in the »Kunst am Bau« competition for her design »Eine biologische Uhr« (a biological clock). The competition coincided with the construction of the new »Kooperationsgebäudes Biodiversität« on campus at the Freie Universität Berlin. The jury recommended that Damm’s idea be implemented.
