What is a Real Project Seminar?

Our Real Project Seminars are a teaching format of the SCE and the HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences, which teaches responsible entrepreneurial thinking and acting through interdisciplinary practical projects. Students from all disciplines are given access to an outstanding Responsible Entrepreneurship education in theory and practice.

In our Real Projects, the entrepreneurs of tomorrow are trained - equipped with the necessary competencies to help shape our future responsibly and to be able to realize their own (startup) ideas.

Current Real Projects

In the context of Real Projects, entrepreneurship, innovation management and personal development are usually taught interdepartmentally at many HM faculties.

To the current Real Projects

How does a Real Project work?

The projects can include both product and service ideas. The basic requirement for all ideas is that they are conceived and designed to be ecologically, socially and economically sustainable. The entrepreneurship character is strengthened in the development process of the project ideas. This means that the task can be posed in an open-ended and interdisciplinary manner, the project has innovation potential, is of relevance to practice, and a viable and sustainable business concept is developed at the end of the semester.

Project sponsors can be students, professors as well as organizations. The SCE is the contact and collection point for the Real Projects and mediates all participants. Professors from the departments of technology, economics, social sciences and design combine their project seminars to lead their interdisciplinary teams of students to realizable results within one semester. In addition to the supervising professors and the project sponsor, the student teams are assisted by an Entrepreneurship Coach from the SCE.

At the end of the semester, the results are presented and the further course of action is determined together with the project sponsor.
