Complementary to classical research and teaching as well as the well-known innovation and value chains, new cross-institutional networks are becoming increasingly important, especially at research-intensive HAW. In these overarching projects, the THI acts as an anchor and connecting element in each case, while at the same time further expanding its position as a mobility university.
In this context, the innovation alliance "Mensch in Bewegung" (People on the Move), which was launched at the beginning of 2018, is one of the largest and most comprehensive network projects that, together with the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, is advancing the so-called "Third Mission", understood as science with and for society. In addition to the regional research partnership SAFIR and the international, now institutionalized network project AWARE, "Mensch in Bewegung" is already the third BMBF-funded project of this kind, the greatest challenge of which lies in its continuation and further development.
