BAUHAUS4EU Podcast: Progress in the Alliance and What Comes Next
Recorded at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, our Secretary General Dr. Tonia Schmitz takes a look back at the milestone, reflecting on the progress made (spoiler: it is a lot!), the challenges that still lie ahead, and why we put in the effort to meet in a big, physical format once a year. But we are not dwelling on the past: we also turn our attention to what comes next for the Alliance, and where we will all feel and see its impact in our local institutions. Listen, follow, and join the conversation!

Regional Living Labs and Student-Led Courses Already Selected!
After dozens of proposals were evaluated, a total of 13 Regional Living Labs (RLLs) and 14 Student-Led Courses (SLCs) were selected to be offered in the next academic year. While RLLs are open innovation ecosystems to design solutions to place-based challenges, SLCs are innovative educational formats in which students develop the curriculum. These courses are open to all students enrolled at the host university, including both local and Erasmus students. Explore the RLLs and SLCs, find out more, and enrol!
