2 July: Fifth Town Hall Meeting
On Wednesday, 2 July 2025, the transSCAPE team cordially invites you to the fifth Town Hall Meeting. This open format brings together stakeholders from the the academic, urban, and cultural communities to actively shape the future of Magdeburg's Port of Science.
A student agency will be created in the coming years as part of the transSCAPE workshop. This year, for the first time, its focus areas will be piloted: spatial localisation and forms of cooperation with partners outside the university.
The event starts at 5 pm on the site of historic ships in Magdeburg's Port of Science. Visitors will experience the current changes around the northern harbour area and discover the newly designed culture beds - an instrument created as part of the urban development funding in Magdeburg Neustadt that combines urban gardening with creative interim use. You can also look forward to the results of two semesters of transdisciplinary university teaching, including findings on the biodiversity of bean varieties and the question of how generations can learn together. Last but not least, you will gain insights into the history of the former commercial harbour, artistic stagings of its transformation as well as student project plans and visions for the future of a medical technology ecosystem in the Port of Science.
During the programme and after it closes at 7 pm, visitors can meet up in a relaxed atmosphere with cool drinks at Café Treibgut.
