Projects
We develop, accompany and evaluate innovative projects. Since 1990, in addition to programme support, accompanying scientific research, quality-assuring process support within the project team and external evaluation studies , we have formulated more than 60 project ideas that are eligible for funding and supported them with action research. Our areas of focus are in the fields of:
The Health2Innovation project is aimed at higher education institutions, business incubators, vocational training institutions, SMEs and technology experts from Europe to share best practices and jointly develop an educational resource for students.
The surgicalCOMM project aims to improve the communication and decision-making skills of medical students and health professionals in the surgical field. A virtual simulation tool based on artificial intelligence is being developed to enable remote training.
The design studio is a physical place where students can simulate real-world practice without the associated risks. In the EINstudio project, a virtual design studio is to be created that offers students and teachers a collaborative working environment to realise joint projects and work together in an interdisciplinary way regardless of location.

The agricultural sector is a male-dominated industry and the gender gap is particularly pronounced in agriculture. The DEMETRA project aims to create the conditions for women to work in agriculture in rural areas.
The maturity of digitalisation depends strongly on the industry, the size of the company and its value proposition. The smaller the company, the more difficult the digital transformation. The DigiENTAiD project aims to support small businesses and self-employed people in the professional use of IT and digital marketing that are at risk of failing due to the Corona pandemic.
The Covid 19 pandemic has shown that schools and civil society organisations lack access to digital learning materials. The UnInLeCo project is aimed at universities, companies and civil society organisations to support disadvantaged groups in society in the training of basic digital skills.
