Energy Efficiency

We are glad to offer the faculty-led Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) „Energy Efficiency“ to our partner universities. The BIP includes both a physical activity and a virtual period.

The goal of the programme is that students should become more familiar with topics related to Sustainability.

Join the BIP to learn more about energy saving, renewable energies and sustainability in the building process. Together we can shape a greener future!

What should the BIP foster

  • development of transnational and transdisciplinary curricula
  • innovative ways of learning and teaching
  • online collaboration
  • research-based learning

BIPs provide an opportunity to reach out to new groups of students, for example those in study fields where mobility opportunities have been limited or those who lack confidence to go abroad alone.
