On 04.05.2022, the European Commission announced that the joint application "Creating NEBourhoods Together" - Munich Neuperlach will be funded as one of five lighthouse projects with exemplary function within the New European Bauhaus (NEB). Together, Munich Neuperlach will be prepared for the future as outlined by the European Green Deal in terms of the built environment, circular economy, mobility, energy, food and health as part of the New European Bauhaus. The project will build on the area's strengths - a strong sense of community, extensive green spaces, large, albeit in need of renovation, housing - and address its weaknesses - higher than average unemployment and lower than average education levels. Around five million euros will be allocated for implementation.

In this episode of fIVE, we talk with Molly Johnson-Jones, Co-Founder & CEO of flexa.careers and touch upon a variety of topics- From Molly's journey to becoming a co-founder, to her key learnings in the fundraising process, to gender stereotypes, personal bias, and how they define flexible working. This episode comes at just the right time, as the shift in the labor market is happening right now, as evidenced by a wealth of data and research. This requires employers to not only offer interesting jobs, but also to find their own position on what company culture, talent and work environment they want to offer. Molly recommends employers be authentic, transparent and honest.

-this is the title of a lecture that Kilian Schmid will give next Tuesday (03.05.2022) at 5:30 p.m. as part of the digital VDI Tuesday Lectures of Faculty 03 of Mechanical, Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering at Munich University of Applied Sciences. Although Kilian Schmid is still studying at Munich University of Applied Sciences, he can already look back on a great success, winning the international tunnel construction competition "Not-A-Boring-Competition" in the USA from Elon Musk with the team TUM Boring. This is the follow-up event to the famous Hyperloop competitions, which attracted a lot of attention in Germany but also internationally - also because TUM emerged as the winner in each case. TUM was also the biggest player in the last competition. This success would not have been possible without Kilian Schmid and the numerous students from the Munich University of Applied Sciences who were active in leading positions and pushed the team forward. The SCE also supported the team. More info at https://www.boringcompany.com/
