The nZEBRA Final Summer School, hosted by Halmstad University, marks a major milestone for the project and will formally conclude its activities. Building on years of collaboration, learning,and innovation, this final event brings together students from Sweden and Germany to take part in the final version of the nZEBRA course.
During the summer school, participants will engage with the full curriculum — combining theoretical foundations and practical applications, including exercises and hands-onexamples tailored to the building and construction sector. The programmeis designed to equip future professionals with the knowledge and skills neededto develop and implement nearly zero-energy buildings in real-worldcontexts.
This event follows the first nZEBRA Summer School, which was successfully organised last June in Hamburg by TUHH. The second and final edition will takeplace in mid-June, with student participation based on specific selection criteria to ensure an optimal learning experience.
Ahead ofthe Final Summer School, a second stakeholder meeting will be held in Halmstadon 19 March. This meeting will focus on how sustainable and nearly zero-energy buildings can be developed and implemented in practice, bringing together experts from industry, academia, and local authorities.
