Research Units

Innovation Acceptance

The Innovation Acceptance Unit examines the social prerequisites and consequences of technology and knowledge transfer processes. Our focus is on the challenges and opportunities in transferring innovative solutions with a large distance between the context of creation and use.

Crowd Innovation

We strongly believe that the collaboration of multiple people can accomplish more than individual efforts. That is why we have developed the Crowd Innovation Plattform, where crowdsourcing and crowdfunding are more than just buzzwords – they are active participation formats for bringing about real change and assessing impact in a scientifically sound manner.

Innovation Policy and Transfer Design

The Innovation Policy and Transfer Design Unit provides evidence-based support to policy makers, companies and the transfer community in making decisions for a sustainable transformation of innovation systems and organizations.
