In my opinion, architects in general would design cities in a different way, if they would have participated [in something like summer this school] this is not something I could have learned at my own university

As a scientist I learned so much about business and marketing... Since the summer school I am always thinking about how to improve/innovate

[My job now] it's interdisciplinary ... climate neutral ... cost-effective ... and entrepreneurial ... I would definitely say I am inspired by the summer at Climate KIC.
