REAL PROJECT #1 Sustainability in Food & Wellbeing
Topic: Food - FK06 | FK10 | FK11 | FK12
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Bettina Maisch, Prof. Dr. Verena Kaiser, Prof. Dr. Małgorzata Krzywonos, Prof. Dr. Pia Popal, Prof. Dr. Irmi Eisenbarth
Block seminar: 12.01. - 16.01.2026 | SCE Creative Hall (Heßstr. 89, Munich)
Language: English
Partner University: Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, Poland
Feeding all people on earth remains a major challenge. In 2050, about 9.7 billion people will live on earth. According to the UN, about 690 million people are already suffering from hunger. How can we ensure effective, low-cost and sustainable forms of food production? In many supermarkets, we in Germany have an abundant supply of food, some of which has already made a long journey. Whether these are bananas from Tanzania, beef from Argentina or avocados from Colombia. In the context of food production, transport and processing, tons of climate-damaging CO2 are produced. How to ensure a sustainable production, processing and delivery of food? How can modern technologies be used to more effectively treat and, if possible, even prevent existing diet-related diseases?
In this one-week seminar together with Wroclaw University of Economics and Business and Lebanese American University we will work on relevant topics, opportunities and challenges, in the context of Sustainability in Food & Wellbeing and develop innovative, value-adding and sustainable solutions for the World.

REAL PROJECT #3 Digitalization
TOPIC: Digitalization - FK07 | FK 14
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Christian Klusmann, Prof. Dr. Sven Sterzenbach, Prof. Dr. Marlen Jurisch, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Wach
Thursdays, 10.00 am - 1.00 pm | SCE Creative Hall (Heßstr. 89, Munich)
Language: English
Real Project Digitalization is a hybrid seminar that aims to promote students entrepreneurial, digital and intercultural competences. Students learn how to work in interdisciplinary remote teams, following agile processes, developing digital prototypes and business models.
Students work in interdisciplinary (potentially international) teams on real-life problems that matter. These real-life problems are innovation challenges proposed by an NGO or public sector entity through a collaboration with HM's Digital Transformation Lab, supported by AWS. The students teams follow an innovation process to tackle the proposed challenges and prototype solutions using digital technologies with market potential for generating societal impact.
The course is a flipped-classroom, which means that the content is available online via video lectures and on our dynamic weekly sessions, in person, we concentrate on teamwork with coaching.
REAL PROJECT #4: I2S - Idea to Solution
Topic: Energy, Manufacturing and Raw Materials - FK03 | FK10 | FK12
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Klaus Sailer, Doris Polzin, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Eursch, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Winfried Zanker,
Wednesdays, 10:00 - 13:00 | SCE Creative Hall (Heßstr. 89)
I2S is a format that is intended to simultaneously convey specialist content and promote entrepreneurial thinking and action. The event is cross-faculty, in which students from the Faculty of Business Administration, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Design work together in mixed groups on a concrete project. Here you start with a concrete product idea, through a business model to the preparation of a start-up.
This approach gives students a holistic view of a product development process and conveys an understanding of interdisciplinary links, promotes teamwork based on values and enables strategic and operational entrepreneurial thinking and action. The concept of the seminar is to develop a solution concept for the given task as independently as possible. The lecturers mainly act as coaches for the teams on the way to the solution.
REAL PROJECT #5 Prompting for Innovation - AI & Entrepreneurship
Topic: AI & Digitalization
Lecturers: Johanna Kobilke
Wednesdays, 14:00 - 17:00 | from 15.10.2025 |SCE Creative Hall (Heßstr. 89, Munich)
This real project is about developing entrepreneurial approaches and designing innovative business models. Participants use prompting and computational thinking to work out their ideas in a structured way and apply relevant innovation methods in a targeted manner.
At the beginning of the semester, participants are given a general insight into the topics of AI-supported creativity, prompting and computational thinking. Within this framework, they are free to identify their own entrepreneurial challenges and develop individual solutions.
Throughout the semester, participants are supported by coaching and have the opportunity to develop their ideas iteratively. The focus is on developing practical and innovative concepts that are optimized with the help of AI-supported methods and are geared towards the current challenges and opportunities of modern society.
REAL PROJECT #6 Development of a business idea
Topic: Digitalization
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Herbert Gillig
Time & place: To be announced
Digital transformation refers to an ongoing, far-reaching process of change in business and society that has been triggered by the emergence of increasingly powerful digital techniques and technologies.
As part of the course, business ideas and scalable business models are developed in a structured process around the topic of digital transformation in a self-selected area.
REAL PROJECT #7 Impact Lab
Topic: Impact
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Georg Zollner, Prof. Dr. Peter Dürr
Thursdays, 9:00 - 12:15 | Chapel KO127, HM Campus Pasing
Innovations for a sustainable future. How can students generate impact by developing entrepreneurial solutions for social challenges?

How and how will we get around in the future? This is currently one of the most exciting questions, shaped by developments such as urbanization, digitalization and demographic change. As part of the course, existing offers will be analyzed in interdisciplinary teams. A new product or innovative service, including a feasible business model in the area of Future of Mobility, is then developed based on the needs of a freely selectable target group.
- The entrepreneurial perspective
- From problem to entrepreneurial opportunity
- From the business idea to the business model
- From planning to founding
- Life cycle and growth
REAL PROJECT #9 Connectedness as a strategy for a world worth living in
Topic: Impactgarage | FK10 | FK11
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Georg Zollner, Prof. Ralph Buchner
Mondays, 14:00 - 17:15 | Lothstr. 17, Room X 1.019
According to Otto Scharmer, Senior Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/MIT, the major crises of our time are due to the fact that we do not feel connected to nature, to other people and to ourselves.
What creative answers can we find to strengthen our connection with nature, our fellow human beings and ourselves? After all, we all long for connectedness. What concrete ways can we develop to bring the awareness of connectedness into the world? At the same time, can we show that our answers meet a real need, are feasible and economically viable?
We want to tackle this topic in the course "Connectedness as a strategy for a world worth living in", in an interdisciplinary project work with students of design and business studies.
We will also be working with the "U-Process" transformation method for the first time throughout the semester. This will allow you to experience how you can structure your design process on the topic of connectedness in interdisciplinary teams using this new co-creative method.
