Government-Funded Research Institute - Thuringia aims to establish a research facility dedicated to eco-friendly construction.

The state of Thuringia is hoping that the federal government will establish a research facility for sustainable buildings in Weimar. This decision was made on Tuesday, as mentioned in a statement, and the support will be provided as far as the budget permits. At the moment, a low double-digit million amount is being planned for the next few years, but whether Weimar ultimately receives this project depends on whether the federal budget committee approves funding for it. Bautzen in Saxony is also competing for the project.

In Weimar and Nordhausen, there are already several competencies established around the subject of sustainable construction. Along with the location's appeal, the state of Thuringia anticipates a high demand for research results from such an institution in the coming years. Topics like alternative cement production and the reusing of construction materials are growing in popularity. "The economic impact is already significant," the spokesperson for the Ministry of Economics remarked. The exact appearance of this institution will depend on the decisions made at the federal level.
