Multi-Stakeholder Auditorium
Façade greening, apple cider, CO2-reduction – the students of the 7th Sustainability Challenge presented their concepts at the public Stop-Over event on June 29th. Impressive short videos of the projects and start-ups were succeeded by a market place with vivid discussions.
Within this interdisciplinary course, students tackle challenges in cooperation with partners or as start-up teams. The first task was to develop a concept for the service learning projects respectively a business model for the start-up ideas.

The intermediary Stop-Over event facilitated exchange, feedback and learning from each other. During the second term the teams will focus on implementation of the projects, prototyping their business concepts and writing business plans.
To support a holistic approach for developing sustainable solutions, theoretic input was provided by lecturers from the participating four universities.
Market place – concepts and ideas
For the first time, the course integrates start-ups and is extended to two semesters. The testing of these enhancements and their implication constitute the core of piloting the Sustainability Challenge in the context of CASE.
