The "Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship In-Institute" (SI) has been founded by the HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences and the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship gGmbH (SCE) as a new central scientific institution. As of now, it is responsible for the planning, coordination and implementation of the activities taking place at HM in the field of entrepreneurship. The respective responsibilities are regulated by a cooperation agreement between HM and the SCE.

The goal of the SI is to promote entrepreneurial thinking and action as well as spin-offs. The Central Scientific Institution SI is managed in close coordination with prof. Dr. Thomas Stumpp, Vice President for Economics at HM. Prof. Dr. Klaus Sailer, Managing Director of the SCE and Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Munich, is in charge of the Central Scientific Institution SI.

Professors participate in the activities of the SI as members of their respective faculties. Employees will be directly assigned to the SI. This also applies to the employees of the faculties 03, 06 and 09 who have been working on SCE projects so far.

The rooms of the Incubator and the Precelerator located in the W-building will be assigned to the SI. In addition, the rooms W 0.01, W 0.02, W 0.03, W 0.04, W 0.05, W 0.06, W 1.08 and W 1.21 will be added.

Diverse design. Does it exist? This is the question with which our host Franziska Mattner starts the conversation with Stephanie Renz and Tania Hernández. The two are founders of OH WOMAN, a multidisciplinary design studio from Munich, as well as designers of the eponymous educational game for which they won both the Red Dot Design Award and the award of Germany's Creative and Cultural Pilots in 2021. The conversation revolves around diversity, design, the question of which stereotypes they would most like to abolish and what influence our language plays in this. The quintessence of the episode is what is needed today: Openness to discussion, courage for self-reflection and change, and most importantly never lose the lightness and joy of life! Have fun listening!

A warm welcome to our new batch "Hyperactive Toddlers" in the Start-up Certificate funding program! We are looking forward to supporting the founders with their innovative and exciting start-up projects in the coming months.
