International Projects

The LABi³ project is an innovative, interdisciplinary and international study program on the topic of sustainable circular economy.

Innovative

We experiment with inventive teaching methods (e.g. design thinking) and conceptual designs and digital and hybrid teaching formats.

Interdisciplinary

The world has become so complex that we believe that it needs different perspectives to solve todays problems. We explore how different academic disciplines and their respective industrial partners can all find a common ground.

International

We cooperate with four international partner universities and offer scholarships for students and teaching stuff.

The programme „International Practice Cooperation for Global Change (I-PraC) is designed to provide students with international practical experience through close cooperation with partners abroad.

With I-PraC, we want to assume responsibility as global citizens and develop the required labour market skills for the future. The project anchors its activities on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and incorporates the concept of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) of UNESCO. The implementation takes place in the curricula and the transfer at a local and a global level.

Interdisciplinary work will be tested, since I-PraC was initially being conceived in the Faculty III (Media, Information and Design) and Faculty IV (Business and Computer Science). Further faculties are welcome to join!

Last but not least, the project aims to be part of the development of the internationalisation and digitalisation at the HsH in a broad and structural way. It should serve as a pilot to implement internationalisation at all university levels and across all groups - students, teaching staff, researchers and administrative staff.

The aim of the project (management: Prof. Jürgen Dunkel, Prof. Ralf Bruns) is to institutionalise scientific cooperation between the HsH and the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) in Madrid. As a key point, a cooperation agreement is to be made between the HsH research cluster 'Smart Data Analytics' and the Centre for Intelligent Information Technologies (CETINIA) of the URJC.

The project is financially supported by the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony within the framework of the programme for the "Promotion of European and International Cooperation in Science and Research" for the period 01.06.2020 to 31.08.2021.

The "Summer Academy for Sustainability in Africa and Europe" (Director: Prof. Wilfried Köpke) will address the topic of sustainability with a focus on sustainable fashion together with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in Cape Town. The ten-day stay in South Africa planned for the end of 2021/beginning of 2022 will be supplemented by virtual elements of cooperation between students and teachers from CPUT and HsH.

The project is financially supported by the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony within the framework of the programme for the "Promotion of European and International Cooperation in Science and Research" for the period 01.03.2021-28.02.2022.

With the "USE-LESS gallery" (Director: Prof.in Martina Glomb), project results on "Sustainable Design Strategies" are to be presented in an innovative format on the occasion of the international UN Climate Change Conference in November 2021 at the Museum August Kestner. A joint symposium of the project partners is planned for February 2022. On the Scottish side, Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh are significantly involved.

The project is financially supported by the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony within the framework of the programme "Promotion of European and International Cooperation in Science and Research" for the period 01.03.2021-28.02.2022.
