European Design Upgrade 3.0
Put your talent to work
Sign up now, change how we think about housing and help rebuild Ukraine!
Mission
To bring together designers, architects, engineers, and entrepreneurs to create efficient and affordable solutions for the construction of modular buildings in countries affected by various emergencies and other disasters.
The project starts on March 19, 2024.
About the
EDU 3.0 project
The EDU 3.0 program introduces design thinking to the construction process. We bring together all stakeholders, to change the way you think about building, from sketch to construction to deconstruction. The topic is modular. Not because it is better, but because it is faster. The reconstruction of Ukraine will need to happen in stages, and putting up pre-fabricated, factory-assembled modular buildings will meet the needs of people quicker.
Who is the project for?
Design, construction, architecture, and engineering professionals who want to gain new knowledge and skills in the field of modular housing and sustainable practices, develop their competencies, and contribute to the development of innovative housing solutions in Ukraine and abroad.
Representatives of businesses and municipalities seeking to expand the scope of useful contacts and cooperation with designers, architects and urbanists, as well as to engage in the production of sustainable goods and services, and to introduce the latest achievements in this area to the participants of the partner countries.
Young professionals, university graduates who want to gain new experience, join the professional community, form a network and develop their own unique solutions.
