Essential components of knowledge transfer
FHP Mobil
The FHP Mobile is a space for innovative ideas, actions, and a platform for dialogue. The tiny house on wheels has been in use for the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam since summer 2021. It showcases the diverse activities of the university, spanning all departments and institutes, through changing exhibitions, presentations, and events.
Local Office Luckenwalde
Envisioned to occupy an 800 square meter hall in an industrial estate, this initiative aimed to foster new collaborations between the university, local businesses, the Luckenwalde Regional Growth Center, and the community. Through extensive cooperation and early citizen involvement, a dynamic Local Office was created.
