Fraunhofer UMSICHT and Chiba University to cooperate
The proportion of the urban population is growing steadily and thus the challenge of a sustainable food supply. In future, German and Japanese researchers want to cooperate more closely in the development of new technologies for urban horticulture.
Dates
Together with the construction of the jobcenter in Oberhausen a building integrated glasshouse on the rooftop (so called »Altmarkthalle«) will be constructed. The integrated glasshouse on the rooftop will be supported by federal program »Nationale Projekte des Städtebaus«. On a surface of 990 spm at the rooftop a production area and a smaller area for R&D will be the result. Both the jobcenter and the integrated glasshouse on the rooftop were part of architectural competition which was won by the architects Kuehn Malvezzi. Together with the developers, OGM, the city of Oberhausen, the architect team, Fraunhofer UMSICHT and further person responsible the building will be completed by the end of the year 2018, December 2016
