BMWSB and BBSR are calling for participation in the new funding round of the Future Building research grant.
Applications for funding must be submitted by June 1, 2022.
Universities, research institutions, companies, and other stakeholders in building research can apply for funding from the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) until June 1, 2022. Projects related to building construction that are expected to make a significant contribution to addressing pressing challenges such as climate change, affordable housing and construction, or demographic change are eligible for funding. Applications can cover basic research projects as well as industrial and experimental projects. Both individual institutions and research consortia are eligible to apply.
Five thematic priorities form the framework:
- Low-threshold, time- and cost-optimized construction and renovation
- Climate-neutral and climate-adapted buildings
- Building and renovating according to the circular economy principle
- Future viability of the construction process and value chain
- Added value of architecture and building culture practice
