On 2 June 2026, our Young Professionals Forum took place at the State Garden Show in Bad Nenndorf. The event provided students and experts with a platform for networking, knowledge transfer and professional exchange.
Marie Kolsch (University of Hanover), whose Master’s thesis “Open Space Planning to Combat Physical Inactivity? How Cities Get People Moving – Using the Example of Hanover-Vahrenwald” received a special commendation at the Study UP Award 2025, and Robert Schröter (Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences), winner of the award for his Bachelor’s thesis ‘Landscape in Transition: Shaping the Hanover–Kronsberg Periphery’, presented their work.
The event continued with the presentation of the designs for the State Garden Show’s young talent competition and the honouring of the prize-winners. With her design: ‘Energy in Transition – Fire as Origin and Vision’, Hanna Kaiser from the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences won the Bdla Young Talents Competition for the 2026 Bad Nenndorf State Garden Show ‘Traces of the Past – Sources of the Future’ in May 2025. Second prize went to the group project “Storage Space” by Ms Antonia Brinkmann and Daphne te Haar from Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences.
