Students presented innovative concepts for the redevelopment of Ingolstadt’s inner city

As part of the transfer module “Innovative Product Development with External Partners”, students from the Ingolstadt School of Management at KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt developed interdisciplinary concepts for the redesign of selected "problem areas" in the inner city of Ingolstadt. The project was carried out in cooperation with the transfer platform MenschINBewegung (represented by Daniel Zacher) and the City of Ingolstadt.

The project began with an on-site visit to the designated areas, accompanied by representatives of the city administration. Throughout the summer semester, interdisciplinary and international student teams worked on innovative ideas that integrated not only economic considerations, but also ecological, social integration, and democratic values.

The final presentations took place at the Georgianum and offered a compelling demonstration of how KU’s development plan is being put into practice in the area of knowledge transfer and societal engagement – while also highlighting the strong collaboration between KU’s campuses in Eichstätt and Ingolstadt.
