What is being researched at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar?
Once a year, the Bauhaus Research School organizes a competition for early stage researchers, designers and artists. This year, the competition will take place in cooperation with the »Long Night of Academic Writing« and the »Gründerwerkstatt neudeli« together with the »Thüringer Allianz für Ingenieurwissenschaften« on the »Tag der Ingenieurwissenschaften« at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar on 29.06.2022.
From climate change to digitalisation - research lays the foundation for a transformation towards a modern society that thinks and acts sustainably. Are you part of this »TRANSFORMATION«? Then participate in the early stage researchers' contest initiated by the Alliance of Thuringian Engineering Sciences and present a research poster and an accompanying elevator pitch (90 seconds) to show how your research topic is changing our world!
The contest is open to early stage scientists, artists and designers from all subjects at the seven Member universities - FH Erfurt, Duale Hochschule Gera-Eisenach, TU Ilmenau, Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena, Hochschule Nordhausen, Hochschule Schmalkalden and the host Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. This contest is organised by the Bauhaus Research School in cooperation with the »Long Night of Scientific Writing« and the Start-Up Hub »neudeli« at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Eligible to participate are
- doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers or
- employees in an early stage of their academic career and
- Advanced Master's students

In 2020, the »Wissenschaftstag« was held as a digital event. Under the title Science Communication" it took place on 18 November 2020. Here you can find the retrospective and the picture gallery in the Bauhaus.Journal Online.
The contest in 2020 was a special one: For the first time, contestants could prepare for the competition in a pitch training and a workshop for the design of scientific posters. The posters has been shown in advance in the university library and have been presented virtually at the »Wissenschaftstag 2020« in the form of an "Elevator Pitch" - a presentation (German or English) lasting a maximum of 90 seconds, which offers an exciting insight into the project.
The public online voting and the interdisciplinary jury awarded prizes worth a total of 400 euros in the categories: Best Poster/ Best Elevator Pitch / Overall evaluation "Science Communication" (Poster Competition and Elevator Pitch).
