IBA meets IBA
In 2007 the IBA meets IBA network was launched as a coalition of former, current, and interested future IBA players. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building, and Community via the IBA Lab event format. The IBA Lab events focus on interaction on the status of the current IBA and quality assurance for the criteria set out in the IBA Memorandum. Moreover, a council of experts appointed by the Federal government accompanies the IBA process. They are renowned members of the research community and practitioners as well as representatives of the local authorities and federal states. The council of experts ensures adherence to the IBA Memorandum criteria, updates them as required, and advises the ongoing »IBA and IBA« initiatives.
