Special Lunch Break Event!: Join us for an exclusive tour with Behnisch Architekten, the German architectural firm behind the innovative, sustainable and award-winning Science and Engineering Complex (SEC), Harvard’s most significant new building constructed in a generation. Called a “climate resilient marvel” (Living Architecture Monitor), “a hallmark of sustainability, but also proves that modern architecture can be beautiful”(Harvard Crimson), the building stands out in Allston and literally shines through an exterior steel lattice which is precisely designed to mitigate solar heat in the summer and allowing sunlight to penetrate during the winter.


The tour will be led by Matt Noblett, partner of the Boston office of Behnisch Architects and one of the two lead architects of this remarkable project, explaining key elements of its innovative and award-winning design and sustainable building technologies.

Date: Monday, June 10th

Sustainability Project Presentations


Several of members of the YP Committee had the opportunity recently to attend (and judge!) an econ class presentation through Babson College economics professor Jason Wong (and fellow YP committee member) as his students presented impressive solutions to their sustainability project challenges following a whirlwind 10-day study trip to Germany. You can read about the trip on their blog.

An April Nor'Easter didn't deter a big group of Stammtisch Fans to gather at Jack's Abby in Framingham for the METRO West Stammtisch (originally coined "Spring Stammtisch", we will save that for the next one!) to enjoy good conversation and meeting new people. While organized by the Young Professionals, the Stammtisch is open to EVERYONE, regardless of membership or age. Reach out to Thorben Beckmann or Kai Schmitz if you want to learn more or join the next Metro West Stammtisch.

Krise ade? In Deutschland wird wieder mehr gegründet

19. April 2024

Auszug: "Von Januar bis März entstanden 658 Jungfirmen. (...)Im Vergleich zum Vorquartal entspricht das einem Plus von 17 Prozent. Mit Blick auf das Vorjahresquartal liegt der Anstieg bei nahezu fünf Prozent (...)
