Initiative for the encouragement of talented students in the field of building automation engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aachen, 24.03.2022. \u2013The BACnet Interest Group Europe (BIG-EU) will encourage young engineers in the field of building technology with an annual scholarship award. The scholarship will be awarded in a total of three categories for outstanding bachelor and master theses on building automation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the major investments in the Green Deal, Europe wants to be the first CO2-neutral continent on earth by 2050. However, the building sector has not yet achieved the planned CO2 savings targets, although there is particularly large potential for savings in this area. In order to leverage this potential, well-trained specialists are needed who take on these issues in the implementation. However, it is currently becoming apparent that the number of engineers in the building sector will continue to decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholarship for three categories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the building sector is competing with several other engineering disciplines in the struggle for talent. However, the BIG-EU Board sees the “Fridays for Future” movement as an opportunity to make the occupational field more attractive to young professionals, as building management in particular has the potential to play a major role in CO2 emissions reduction. From this thought, the idea for a BIG-EU scholarship award was born. In the future, the BACnet Interest Group Europe will offer three scholarships per year for outstanding bachelor or master theses in the following three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
