Friday, 27 September 2024

After the opening sessions in the morning, the afternoon sessions are split into two parallel tracks with different areas of focus. The day ends with the awarding of the DVL Earth Building Prize and an evening get-together.

The auditorium sessions will be held in German and English with simultaneous interpreting (via headsets). Due to space limitations in Room B, the parallel track sessions will be held in German with an opportunity for questions and answers afterwards in German and English.

Much of the event will be recorded and will be made available digitally after the event.
