IBA_SUMMIT No. 2
March 18 th /19th, 2016
- DRAFT -
With its biennial IBA_SUMMIT the International Building Exhibition (IBA)
Heidelberg initiates the dialog between the administration of cities and universities in
“knowledge pearls”, medium sized cities with high-ranking academic institutions. In
its second round the focus is on the potentials and challenges of expansion-plans
necessary to accommodate future needs of research and development. Heads of cities
and universities gather to discuss their projects, experiences and visions towards an
urban development integrating academic and public interests - by invitation only. To
foster the “town and gown” relationships in the 21st century a network of cities and
universities is being built to take advantage of each other’s visions and lessons
learned.
