As part of our Build.Nature PhD excursion, we spent three packed days traveling through South Tyrol, East Tyrol, and Carinthia together with PhD candidates and faculty — exploring the intersection of innovation, nature, and industrial practice.

Our highlights included:
Company visits to inspiring partners like Hasslacher Norica Timber, Holzbau Unterrainer, and Rubner Holzbau
An active research site visit
A hike up Magdalensberg
A presentation within the Cycle of Materials lecture series

We’re grateful for the insights, exchanges, and shared learning throughout this inspiring journey!
