NOVA AVA in research and teaching
More than 3000 students at 29 universities and universities of applied sciences already have access to NOVA AVA. We support educational institutions as well as individual students with free licenses.
Free university licenses
NOVA AVA university licenses are free of charge and can be provided directly from the cloud without any installation or IT effort.
As NOVA AVA is a web-only application, all you need to do is register an account. Then contact us and we will activate unlimited access for your students.
Practice-oriented training for model-based construction cost management could hardly be simpler.
We also offer to familiarize your instructors with the most important features via webinar – also free of charge!

Free individual access for students
Your college or university does not yet have NOVA AVA?
No problem – register your own account and send us your certificate of enrollment.
We will then activate your account until the end of the semester.
Prepare for your work of tomorrow with modern tools today. With NOVA AVA, you can use innovative modules for scheduling and cost planning, tendering, awarding, invoicing and controlling construction services.
At the same time, you can easily familiarize yourself with the important IFC, BCF and GAEB file formats.
