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.
ISOB supports transformation projects in structurally weak areas in Europe. One focus of its work is the further development of the Eastern Bavarian region, especially in the area of lifelong learning and the networking of regional actors.
Regional funding
EVALUATION ASSIGNMENT
The TalentMagnet project explores brain drain in the Danube Region and supports small and medium-sized municipalities in addressing the labour and demographic challenge through improved multi-level governance.
EQUAL Development Partnership "Fair plus" (FAIR plus)
08/2005 – 03/2008
In the FAIR plus development partnership, a network of various organisations and companies in the city and region of Nuremberg was formed to develop and test methods and concepts for overcoming discrimination and inequalities in the labour market. FAIR plus thus contributes to the design of work that promotes integration.
EQUAL Development Partnership "KIT Competences in Tourism" (KIT)
08/2005 – 03/2008
We had the idea to compile the developed learning contents for tourism competences in an educational suitcase. The educational case contains scripts, books, CD-ROMs and also educational vouchers, which development partnerships primarily address for people interested in tourism who are unemployed and further qualify low-skilled employees in the tourism industry in order to secure their jobs in the long term.
So_WirtS! stands for a new form of cooperation between the business and social systems. The development partnership So_WirtS! developed approaches for dealing with labour market problems in which companies and social institutions from Worms identified acute problems in dialogue, developed ideas for solving them and tested them in practice within projects.
EVALUATION ASSIGNMENT
We have supported three networks of regional actors in developing the regional learning culture in the sense of a "learning region". In this way, the regional need for further education could be identified. The actors improved their cooperation in the development of the regional skilled labour base.
Learning Region Schwandorf County (LernReg)
07/2001 – 06/2006
We have supported the regional actors in establishing the "Learning Region" Schwandorf. In the areas of further education counselling for adults, job seekers and companies, companies and citizens in the region have access to powerful support for their lifelong learning.
Knowledge management and Product development (WuP)
03/2001 – 10/2004
We supported a market-leading training service provider in making better use of the knowledge of its employees in order to adapt the product portfolio to changing political conditions and to systematically anchor innovative capacity in the company. We worked together with a highly innovative group of experts from the programme "Learning Culture Competence Development" and developed generalisable findings and recommendations for the organisational development of sustainable education service providers.
