Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU) counts among Russia‘s leading technical universities. It has »National Research University« status, awarded by the Russian Excellence Initiative. MGSU is also a coordination centre for instruction and research in the field of engineering for all universities of the Russian Federation. The cooperation agreement with MGSU is one of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar‘s oldest.The agreement was first signed in 1967 and has been renewed regularly ever since. The MGSU has been an important partner of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for decades.The intensive research- and project-related cooperations include the exchange of researchers, doctoral candidates and students as well as workshops, conferences and guest lectures in the fields of civil engineering and urbanism.
Selected Activities
Workshops »Building Information Modeling« In this workshop series students learn to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) method software to develop and visualize 3D models of buildings and discuss opportunities of BIM design. BIM is a method process that allows to generate and manage digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of buildings, places and facilities. The workshop is currently being developed into an e-learning series.
Workshops »Urban Infrastructure« This interdisciplinary workshop series invites engineering and urban planning students to develop ideas for real challenges of current urban infrastructure planning, e.g. developing a new residential area in Weimar including its transport system connections and development of sanitary environment. A continuing professional development course for Russian lecturers is held at the same time as the workshop, presenting for example recent research findings by Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and local environmental engineering firms.
