How to start? A decade ago, facing a new century and its problems in area education professor Enemark underlined (linked with Williamson and Ting) four basic global challenges of XXI first century. In spite the direction above named to the land management we can overload them to the real estate education in all. 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
The global challenges of education Technology development Micro-economic reform Globalization and Sustainable development 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
Science v.s. art To draw down the clear approach we must return to the roots and the fundamental question that was asked by Barry Gilbertson Why to return to the question asked by Barry Gilbertson in 2001 in Global Real Estate Issues Valuation or Appraisal: Art or Science? If we play in own sandbox, it’s OK! While our hopes are international we should ask the question 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
Fundamental question More concretely, paraphrasing it: Is a sustainability based real estate educational activity a science or an art? 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
Paraphrazing the context Art: thing in which skill may be exercised. Science: systematic and formulated knowledge. Source: The Concise Oxford Dictionary Conclusion: Sustainability itself is a science but application of it is an art 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
Why we’ll need it … Reason for above given approach is not very difficult to follow, so while we like to transform something in the context of EU basic freedoms then we must have some comparables. If no more than, at least based on two freedoms activities should be able to carry the recognition: free movement of goods, i.e real estate services and free movement of human beings, i.e workforce (specialists). 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
What are the comparables? Global approach – built up of real estate education based system of comparables and higher education reconstruction under the Pisa’s regulations. Nationwide approach - built up of curricula based system of comparables, national and international recognition of different area based higher education programs. 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
What are the comparables? State based approach – built up of subjects based comparables, reforming the nature of existing subjects in real estate and built environment curricula and workout and implementation of new contemporary furnished studies 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
What shall help us? Vol. 1 Construction environment tools Lean construction BIM IPD PPP 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar

What shall help us? Vol. 3 Overall tools (politics, strategies) Energy efficiency Zero carbon building Nearly zero energy building Sustainable planning strategies Public intervention defined by Popper 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
On the educational level Core approaches – we have not enough time to built up new curricula, think about time 3+2+pracitce Soft approaches – permanent changes makes us crazy, in spite it is a single tool for SOS 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
On the educational level Mezzanine approach – help to pick up to sustainability level earlier graduates (before Pisa declaration) graduates without enough sustainability knowledge market professionals 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
Academically institutions role Cyclical overview of real estate education curricula & studies fundamentals Obligatory – permanent application of market needs Participation in certification procedure 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
metadisciplinarity & multidisciplinarity Professor Torop explained (professor Lotman’s approach) - new or renewed viewpoint for problem’s solution It is the connection between “the language of mathematics” and “the language of art” in the single cultural structure, on the one hand, and the principal difference between their immanent organization, on the other hand, that allows the reciprocal act of translation of texts in these languages, that is, allows them to mutually be the basis for creating a metalanguage of description. 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
metadisciplinarity & multidisciplinarity As a connection of art and science is borned so called third viewpoint - contemporary meaning of transdiciplinarity. Transdiciplinarity as a key word of contemporary approach of interdiciplinarity. The fundamental terms are knowledge management and knowledge integration. Terms had led to co-operation of differentt disciplines and rising dialog between curricula 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar 11/11/2018
One idea more Paraphrasing Parek who’s writing about globalism we may overload his idea in following: In the contest of development of studies, curricula as a foundation of real estate science is important to apply the multidimensional development of local curricula and studies 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
Some things what we have to do Clearness of different definitions is important - starting with sustainability itself and finishing with green, environmentally friendly, local, etc. REHVA 2011 Michael Schmidt, University of Stuttgart, Germany “German policy and approaches towards zero energy buildings” Sectored experience - Skanska 2009 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
Legal effects of approach unification What do the new homeland require? Gross border influences were existing Gross border influences are existing Gross border influences will exist EU; EC and OECD Why not operate under the local law auspices? 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
SWOT Strength & weakness Existing subjects and curricula are quite enough founded with sustainability markers The organization of university in historically built up includes the interdisciplinarity Weakness state policy is concentrated on the energy efficiency current legal acts do not support sustainability (Planning law, Building law) 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
SWOT Strength & weakness Opportunities built up the new curricula according the market requirements refresh the existing one Threats the fixed amount of curricula is not able to wear the growing pressure of sustainability according the subjects based environment of curricula, the sustainability as leitmotiv will shade the preliminary goal more students are moveing aboard 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
Multiplicity is falling Influence is expanding Who are interested in? Government & banks Press Multiplicity is falling Influence is expanding RE developers Real estate servise providers Speculators & agents & brokers Owners & stake holders Users & owners
Finally … Both must be accounted if we want to be (back) in business The changes of the sustainability of real estate curricula are connected with economic situation dynamics, but: Before - factors that cause and produce the economic changes After - factors that reflect the future economic changes Both must be accounted if we want to be (back) in business 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
… finally … The market participants understandings (market triangular) should to equalize commonly and contemporary therefore exists a huge different between the approaches – as final goal is one, differences must be eliminated commonly and contemporary therefore should not exist a different between the importance of components - there is only one important thing – understandability 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
… finally … The market participants understandings (market triangular) should to develop all participants need a contemporary or collateral advices, the similar conditions are important to use LLL – it is a variant, but do not work without generalization the education quality standards is a challenge, but there are not any fees for applying them 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
… finally … The understandings of educational process should to account that the educational environment changes are not only local – the fact is that the Pisa’s movement is excessively abstracted returning to the some past activities do not mean immediately recession 11/11/2018 7-th annual ERES Education Seminar
