“We provide answers“

The University of Bayreuth will continue its series of public discussions, which began in the "neuseum" in its 50th anniversary year, in 2026. However, the discussion series "We provide answers" will now take place in the Iwalewahaus. Visitors will thus continue to have the opportunity to engage in direct conversation with scientists, students, and staff of the University of Bayreuth.

Upcoming dates

“The campus continues to grow – renovation, modernisation, rethinking:
The University of Bayreuth’s construction projects”


When: Thursday, 26 March 2026, 6 p.m.
Where: Iwalewahaus Wölfelstraße 2
Speaker: Dr Nicole Kaiser, Provost

At the next public forum, “We Provide Answers”, Nicole Kaiser will offer an insight into current and planned renovation and new-build projects. She will explain how existing buildings are being modernised, what major projects are in the pipeline for the coming years, and how new research and innovation buildings will further develop the campus. In the past year and this year alone, the University is investing a good €12.2 million in renovation works – a clear sign of the extent to which the campus is currently being renewed and made fit for the future. This also raises the question of how complex university construction is today, which stakeholders are involved, and how the University, together with the Free State of Bavaria and the State Building Authority, is shaping the future of the campus.
