Final of 2nd competition in Joensuu

Celebrating International Collaboration in Digital Planning:
DIGITAL DECATHLON Final Workshop in Joensuu

‍After 28 successful months, the DIGITAL DECATHLON project has come to an end with a final workshop in Joensuu, Finland. Now in its second year, the competition attracted students and teachers from across Europe to learn and apply digital design methods, in particular Building Information Modelling (BIM). Based on the first round's experience, this year's learning and teaching project was optimised and developed. The event not only highlighted the impressive achievements of the 50 students from five European universities, but also gave them the opportunity to present their projects to a wide audience at the internationally renowned 'Drivers for Wood Construction 2025' conference. The project was also presented to interested parties online, with the aim of attracting new partners to initiate a third round of the DIGITAL DECATHLON and ensure the long-term continuation of the project. In Joensuu, the international and interdisciplinary teams presented their optimised projects to a jury based on the practical skills and deep understanding of Building Information Modelling (BIM) acquired during the competition. This approach promoted not only knowledge transfer, but also intercultural and interdisciplinary collaboration between the participants..
