In joint research projects, innovative ideas, processes or services are created. Cooperation with the university offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to further develop products or services with scientific know-how, solve specific problems in the company organisation, drive internationalisation and open up new markets or simply bring fresh ideas into the company through students.

The transfer catalogue provides information on the research activities of scientists and university institutions. Here you can search specifically for topics of possible cooperation with the Viadrina.

 

In our view, the following is important for successful collaboration:

• Recognise problems and describe them as concretely as possible
.
• Find partners and define the project goals together
• Clearly define responsibilities between the partners
.
• Designate project managers and expertise within the company.
• Calculate project, prepare quotation and identify financing options.
• Control planning and implementation step by step with the partners.

Finances are a decisive factor for successful project realisation. We are happy to support you in your search for funding. Further information can be found under "Financing".

Creativity is a decisive factor for innovation and growth in companies.

The "creativity@region" project offers the opportunity to tackle a specific problem or challenge with the help of various creativity techniques. To this end, EUV students teach these techniques to selected employees of a company as part of a workshop and then put them into practice. The close collaboration between students and employees enables a creative exchange of ideas and perspectives, which ultimately leads to concrete solutions.

The cooperation between the European University Viadrina and the companies shows how important the combination of academic knowledge and practical application is. Such partnerships enable students to apply their skills in a real working environment beyond the lecture theatre. At the same time, companies benefit from the students' fresh ideas and perspectives. The workshops not only strengthen relationships between the companies and the university, but also demonstrate the importance of regional collaboration in tackling business challenges.

The project is part of a course offered by the Chair of Macroeconomics under the direction of Prof Dr Georg Stadtmann with the support of the Center for Knowledge and Technology Transfer EUV and WFBB.

Business-relevant issues and development potential are discussed in personal conversations with SMEs and scientists.

The podcast is an opportunity for companies to present themselves to the public and provide starting points for research cooperation - for example in the form of student final theses in which practice-relevant issues are addressed.

In this way, challenges can be discussed and unutilised potential can be made visible through the university network and business development agencies.

How are problems in companies to be solved & existing innovations to be implemented if it is not sufficiently known that they exist?

This format is also intended to promote dialogue in this respect and strengthen the regional network.
