Training for sustainable and healthy building for 2050 part 2: incorporation of new knowledge and dissemination for the sustainability of the trans-european training experience

This paper presents the innovative key knowledge breakthroughs achieved as one of the results of the BUILD2050 Erasmus+ project, focused on its contribution to advancing climate-resilient building engineering education and practice. In a recent work, the new methodologies applied in the BUILD2050 initiative were presented. This work discusses the incorporation of new knowledge in the courses and dissemination for the sustainability of the trans-European training experience. The challenge faced by the European Union for 2050 is achieving climate neutrality and decarbonization across all economic sectors, including the significantly impactful construction sector. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to develop technologies in an integrated way, following a holistic approach appropriately adapted to climatic conditions, cultural contexts, and natural resource availability through circular economy methodologies. To this end, it is necessary to develop innovative training methods with multidisciplinary content, incorporating a transnational perspective and scope, enabling continuous updating through learning cycles. These study cycles could be shorter and more complementary, allowing greater flexibility in knowledge acquisition while also enabling the creation of specialized training programs similar to those currently available. The BUILD2050 project has developed a transformative educational framework comprising eight comprehensive “Pilot Training” courses to address the critical challenge of integrating sustainability and circularity concepts into educational curricula at all levels, building engineering training and professional development. Addressing this gap is essential for transforming the construction sector and achieving global climate goals. The results of the BUILD2050 project demonstrate the potential of structured, trans-European training experiences to enhance professional competencies and support the transition to climate-neutral construction. Moving forward, widespread adoption and continuous dissemination of these educational advancements will be vital in ensuring a sustainable built environment by 2050.
