REAL PROJECT #1 - Innovations in Health, MedTech & Wellbeing
Topic: Health - FK03 | FK4 | FK07 | FK12
Lecturer:innen: Prof. Dr. Bettina Maisch, Prof. Dr. Sebastian Dünnebeil, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Wach, Prof. Dr. Andreas Eursch

"Ageing is not for cowards", US film actress Mae West once said. But we will have more and more older people around the world. It is estimated that more than a quarter of the German population will be over 67 by 2040. With age, everyone's ability to carry out daily activities (functional ability) declines to a certain extent. In addition, older people tend to have more illnesses and ailments on average than younger people. However, with increasing age, the human organism becomes more susceptible to diseases, which can sometimes become chronic. Typical illnesses that mainly affect older people include dementia, incontinence, stroke, Parkinson's disease and arthritis.
Modern technologies for prevention, early detection and treatment offer a wide range of new possibilities for addressing age-related challenges. The needs of patients, practitioners and relatives are immense, but so is the market. According to Destatis, healthcare expenditure in Germany alone amounted to 411 billion euros in 2020, or 4,944 euros per inhabitant. In the Real Project Seminar, students will work in interdisciplinary teams on value-added solutions for real and relevant challenges faced by older people and develop both an innovative business model and a haptic prototype.
REAL PROJECT #2 Sustainability in Food & Wellbeing
Topic: Food - FK06 | FK10 | FK11 | FK12
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Bettina Maisch, Prof. Dr. Pia Popal, Prof. Dr. Irmi Eisenbarth, Prof. Dr. Małgorzata Krzywonos

Block seminar 01 - 05.07.2024 in Munich, SCE Creative Hall (Heßstr. 89, Munich)
Language: English
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.

Every year at the end of the summer semester, around 100 students from various faculties come together in this special Real Project to work on a social challenge in a block seminar in interdisciplinary teams.
This semester's topic is democracy in a technologized society. We firmly believe that entrepreneurial approaches can play a decisive role in shaping a democratic society. We not only want to promote innovative business models, but also help to strengthen the foundations of our democracy and promote community. Teams are about identifying challenges that affect our democracy and communities and exploring innovative approaches to overcome them.

Creating NEBourhoods Together aims to make Munich's Neuperlach district more attractive and future-proof through entrepreneurial thinking and action. Together with citizens and creative people, we develop ideas and realize projects that implement the European Green Deal and make it visible. In the spirit of the New European Bauhaus, contributors are inspired to positively change and help shape Neuperlach.

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.

In various subject areas, such as the mobility transition, co-creation and participation, heat pumps and electric motors, as well as the COP28 World Climate Conference, students work in teams to develop innovative approaches in coordination with practice partners from the respective subject areas. They are accompanied by interdisciplinary coach tandems who support them in implementing their ideas.

I2S is a format that aims to simultaneously convey subject-specific 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. In order to give the students a clear orientation and a clear guideline for the expected performance, an outline for the project is given by specifying milestones and associated performance packages. In addition, the necessary theoretical knowledge is taught in theoretical sections. The main aim here is to convey a holistic understanding and demonstrate the interdisciplinary links.
