The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts (MWK) is funding 15 innovative projects in Baden-Württemberg as part of the "BW-BigDIWA - Wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken gestalten den digitalen Wandel" (BW-BigDIWA - Scientific Libraries Shaping the Digital Revolution) program. The Stuttgart University Library was successful with two projects: a feasibility study for a new central library (C'HUB) at the Campus City Center as well as a text and data mining concept for copyrighted works (Xsample). In the first project, "Campus-HUB", or "C'HUB" for short, a concept and feasibility study is to be carried out for a central library at the Campus City Center to be shared by all the different universities in Stuttgart. "The library should be more than just a learning center for students, it should also be a place for exchange within the scientific community as well as for dialog between the scientific community and the people of Stuttgart and of the state of Baden-Württemberg", says Dr. Helge Steenweg, Director of the Stuttgart University Library. C'HUB is a joint project between the libraries of the Stuttgart Technology University of Applied Sciences and the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University with the Stuttgart University Library. Campus-HUB is therefore also the main focus of the planners at the various Stuttgart universities, who are promoting the joint university development project "Campus 2030". As part of the International Building Exhibition 2027, the Campus-HUB can represent the science quarter in the city center.
