Day 4 - Results of the Charrette Emmendingen & Next Steps

 

 
1. Emmendingen and its region is very well suitable as a location for the European College of Human Ecology:

° there exist significant possibilities and challenges in the field of environmentalism in the region;

° the study focus could include issues of transport, spatial and city planning and design as well as organic farming and production of organic food;

° significant openness and encouragement has been shown by local and regional businesses, politicians, government authorities, and other organizations.

2. The German Society for Human Ecology and its associated community is able to provide the necessary academic support in the organization and development of the college through:

° a core group of the initiators, supporters and backers which form the starting core of the faculty and staff;

° a commitment to secure the provision of study courses with a total amount of 90 semester periods per week.

3. The intention to choose Emmendingen as location to settle the College has begun to take tangible form:

° there are four suitable sites; two are suited to build a residential city campus and the other two to build a traditional residential campus at the edge or outside of the city;

° a more detailed estimation of the costs has been developed which shows:

° the basic funding needed to construct or convert the buildings andnecessary infrastructure is approximately 15 million Euros and

° the annual operating costs for 100 students is approximately 3 million Euros;
