Description

Auto-translated from German

The Federal Government pursues the goal of systematically and effectively strengthening affordable housing construction, urban and regional development, as well as innovations in building construction. For the conceptual preparation of political decisions and the implementation of action priorities, the BMWSB relies on scientific expertise. The BMWSB bases this on comprehensive studies and long-term research projects as well as the expertise of the BBSR in order to fundamentally address policy-relevant research topics in the areas of housing, urban development, and construction. On the other hand, there is also a need for short-term scientific expertise in order to act flexibly and evidence-based in current societal debates. Through this framework agreement, such short-term economic issues arising for the BMWSB and its departmental research institution, the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR), are to be investigated ad hoc by scientists. The aim of the framework agreement is the flexible, needs-oriented procurement of short, narrowly defined scientific ad hoc or short expert opinions, which are generally to be produced within a few weeks. The framework agreement serves to improve the scientifically supported basis for political decisions, legislative procedures, and future funding and research priorities.
