TrICo - through collaboration to societal change

“Through TrICo, we illuminate positive effects from collaborating with actors from business and society,” explains the Dean of the School of Management and Technology at Leuphana, Prof. Dr. Paul Drews, in an recent interview for Leuphana.

Prof. Drews also holds the position of the overall project manager in the “Transformation through Innovation and Cooperation in Communities” (TrICo) project funded by the Innovative University program.

The goal: to build four innovation communities for knowledge transfer and a media studio. So, Leuphana works with founders, art and cultural institutions, schools and companies.

The TrICo project fits very well with the mission of our School: cross-disciplinary collaboration, impact orientation and the combination of research, teaching and transfer. In doing so, we again address major social challenges, such as sustainable production. And for this undertaking, collaboration is key of course!
