Workshop: BDS-Workshop Innovation

Against the backdrop of demographic developments and social change, the aim is to raise awareness among politicians and the media of the economic and social importance of communal catering and the out-of-home market. The aim of this study is to shed light on the central role of these sectors using current figures and data.

As part of the funding guideline "The digital municipality - supporting interactive, participatory and data-driven planning processes", the project consortium is researching the participatory involvement of children and young people in hybrid municipal planning processes using a gamified mixed reality platform.

Within the framework of the guideline for the funding of projects on the topic of "Exploring Regional Factors for Innovation and Change - Strengthening Societal Innovative Capacity" under the funding measure "REGION.innovativ", the project consortium is researching transformative capacities, i.e. the societal capacity based on various innovations and the activation of regional innovation systems to initiate and shape transformation processes.
