Co-Creation in the Region – Systemic and Innovative Development of Transfer (Co-Site)

Collaboratively addressing the challenges of today and tomorrow – that is the core objective of Co-Site. This project establishes an experimental space that brings together society, business, politics, and science in the form of a real-world laboratory. Co-Site facilitates participatory transfer processes, supporting the region in adapting to climate change.

Working hand-in-hand with the local community, we are dedicated to developing solutions for crafting adaptation strategies and planning critical and green-blue infrastructures. Through co-creative collaboration with regional partners, we actively contribute to social transformation.

Co-Site aims to:

Support the development of regional adaptation strategies to climate change through the integrated planning of critical and green-blue infrastructures.
Engage non-scientific partners throughout the entire knowledge generation process by designing a real-world laboratory.
Foster scientific and social learning processes in the realms of co-creation and climate change by developing innovative education and teaching formats.
Establish, test, and evaluate personnel, physical, and digital structures to create co-creative transfer processes.
Contribute to the sustainable development of the region by forging connections among actors from science, civil society, business, and politics.

Together, we aim to shape change steering it towards a future built on sustainability and innovation.

The Co-Site research project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the "Innovative Hochschule" initiative.
