oikonet is a follow-up of the previous oikodomos virtual campus project which was carried out during 2007-2011.
oikonet brings together schools of architecture and urban planning, research institutes, social groups, transnational organizations and local administrations. altogether, the interactions across different stakeholders and disciplines will provide new insights on the contemporary housing conditions, and will help to forge links between academia and the social and economic milieu, between research and learning, and between the european education space and other universities around the world.
in july 2014 students of the btu senftenberg - cottbus will take part in the oikonet workshop on contemporary housing in lisbon.
