Did you know…

…that the GBS was already implemented over 13 years ago? Our summer university program took place for the first time in 2011. Since then, it has been a growing success and now counts over 550 alumni!

Also it was great to meet up with longstanding partners, former colleagues and sponsors of the OeAD student housing summer programs such as the @AITtomorrow2day - Austrian Institute of Technology and @ABBgroupnews !

Yesterday we joined the Green & Blue Building conference at Palais Pallavicini.
It was very interesting to hear about applied approaches to sustainability, collaboration and circulareconomy in architecture & construction by decision-makers in the Austrian real estate industry!
