HFT Teaching Award 2025 for Sebastian Baier
HFT Teaching Award 2025 for Sebastian Baier
HFT Stuttgart honors outstanding commitment to teaching by awarding the university's own teaching prize. The aim is to recognise particularly motivated and committed teaching staff who inspire their students to study, design courses to promote learning, and run them successfully.
The evaluation committee selected HFT.Lab lecturer Sebastian Baier as the 2025 Teaching Award winner. Together with Yannik Zelenka (Project Planner HFT.Lab), he has so far conducted six teaching research courses for Block 4 since summer 2023.
By the end of 2027, the HFT.Lab will create a platform for innovation in the construction industry in Stuttgart’s city center, which will serve as a testing ground for prototypes as well as a forum for collaboration and exchange between science, industry, and the public. It will be a special venue for scientific dialog and knowledge transfer at a high level, with both internal and external partners.
A participatory showcase, new creative spaces, and new forms of flexible research and learning will promote communication and direct dialogue with the urban community as well as with internal and external cooperation partners, students, employees, and professors.
In order to enable new forms of participation and communicate the university's expertise to the city and region, structural and construction actions are planned in three sub-projects.
