Abstract

Who says only cities offer the infrastructure to provide professional training? The Salzburger Lungau Biosphere Reserve took the challenge and brought the university to the country by hosting 37 students for three weeks. A team of experts from four universities and various disciplines related to regional development and architecture supervised the motivated crowd. External speakers gave the students an understanding of their field of expertise in a very practical way, while the afternoons were dedicated to group work on the various projects. After explaining the background and how the summer university came to be established, this article gives an idea of what the students worked on and the experiences they gained during these intense three weeks. One project is explained in more detail to provide an example. Personal impressions complement the report, together with a look at the unintended effects of the teaching efforts.
