Sustainable future: FH Campus Vienna wins Erasmus+ Award 2024!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 5, 2024, the project "Eco3 - Sustainability Management and Green Controlling in the Social Economy" of the FH Campus Wien was awarded the Austrian Erasmus+ and ESK Award 2024. This future -oriented project supports the social economy, a sector that often lacks sustainability knowledge and aims to anchor sustainability management and green controlling. As part of the three -year program, a uniform, cross -border understanding of sustainability was developed in which partner institutions from the Czech Republic, Romania and Germany were involved, as reported by the FH Campus Vienna.

under the direction of Peter Stepanek, the course of the social economy course, innovative teaching formats were developed, including videos, podcasts and business games to promote awareness of sustainable practice in the social economy. The professionals underline how important sustainability is for social justice and ecological responsibility. "Sustainability is of central importance in the social field, since social justice and ecological responsibility are inextricably linked," explains Elisabeth Steiner, head of department of the social department. The FH Campus Vienna has established itself with over 8,000 students to the largest university of applied sciences in Austria and focuses on applied research and practical applications, especially in the area of residential construction and ecological architecture.

ecological housing in focus

Another important aspect of the FH Campus Vienna is the course in architecture with a focus on ecological residential construction. The curriculum not only includes the historical development of residential construction in Austria, but also the latest trends such as assemblies and sustainable foundations. The students learn the design criteria for sustainable residential projects and work on realistic case studies in order to use their knowledge in a practical way. This practice -oriented training emphasizes the need to combine environmentally friendly and social aspects in architecture and urban planning, which reflects the urgency of sustainable practices in modern society, as can be seen on the website of the FH Campus Vienna.

The prize money and recognition by the Erasmus+ Award stand not only for the performance of the project employees, but also for social responsibility to pass on the university to future generations. The commitment to sustainable development in residential construction and in the social economy will focus more on the focus in the future and thus set the course for a future worth living.
