- Integration of a course on Urban Agriculture within the diploma course urban and regional planning (INAU)
- Creation of an internal research team, made up of three academics involved in scientific research on urban and peri-urban agriculture (INAU)
- Development of a continuing professional training program ‘landscape planning’ (INAU)
- Ongoing development of a training program on urban sustainable development (INAU)
- University cooperation based on an excursion of students from ENA Ecole Nationale d’Architecture (Rabat) at TU Berlin (17 May 2010) and a planned binational summer school Médiouna 2010 with TU Berlin
- Student workshop on future visions for ‘Casablanca 2025’ at University Ain Chock, in cooperation with TU Berlin (Prof. Giseke, Ms Fenk, Mr Kasper), University Mohammedia (Prof. Chlaida), University Ain Chock (Prof. Amraoui). An interdisciplinary and intercultural student workshop took place at the University Ain Chock to design future visions for ‘Casablanca 2025’ with students from Moroccan and German universities.
- Seminar and excursion to Casablanca with 13 students from Bergische Universität Wuppertal, 25.-30.03.2009. Prior to the excursion the students had concerned themselves with the subjects “sustainable urban development”, “scenario technology as a means for urban development processes” and “informal settlements”. The excursion allowed the students to gain insight in the in-situ project work (participation in various events in the realm of Vive Casa, visit of the pilot project PP2) as well as an alignment of the theoretically compiled knowledge with the realities in Casablanca. The visit of two informal settlements and a resettlement project and the following interviews with important local makers on the basis of interview guidelines prepared by the students led to a deepened understanding of the processes within the informal housing sector.
- Establishment of a provisionally two-year visiting lectureship “City and Nutrition” at the TU Berlin at the initiative of the Landscape Architecture / Open-space Planning Department: Research and Teaching Perceptions of City and Nutrition. (The research concerns the nexus between food systems or practices and the design of the urban environment at all the relevant scale levels of open-space architecture. The courses are to take place in the bachelor studies of landscape architecture / landscape planning and the master studies in the faculty of engineering, especially with the design departments.) Since 2010 the position has been occupied by M. Eng. Katrin Bohn (London).
- Establishment of academic modules and a satellite campus as an external scientific branch in Egypt. In a non-profit public-private partnership (PPP) the German services of the TU Berlin are to be made available at the El Gouna Campus on the Red Sea. The three further-educational master’s courses “Energy Engineering”, “Urban Development” and “Water Engineering” have been established by the TU Berlin and will open their doors in 2011. This makes the TU Berlin the first German university to offer study courses in Egypt, which both in terms of content and structure conform entirely to German university standards and regulations. The courses offered and the research focus of the TU Central Institution “El Gouna Campus” are targeted at the particular challenges facing the regions of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
