Transfer

Sustainable innovations develop primarily through collaboration between entrepreneurs, public and civic partners, and scientists and scholars. In this knowledge-exchange process, co-creation, i.e., the inclusion of diverse expertise within the framework of joint knowledge production, plays a central role.

The Digital and Data Literacy in Teaching Lab (DDLitLab) promotes interdisciplinary knowledge-exchange projects in the teaching lab format with the goal of developing an innovative study ecosystem. This includes:

• collaboration with public, private, and civil-society partners in the metropolitan region to develop innovative data-based services

• data-based cooperation and consulting services

• cooperation with partners in the metropolitan region to address data ethics and data privacy issues

• the transfer of knowledge and experience on data literacy in cooperation with educational institutions and schools

Our knowledge-exchange oriented projects from the first round:

1. Fake News, Nnformation Overload, Bots and Algorithms —Forming Opinions in a Digital Society as a Topic of Lesson Development: This research workshop is open to students, teachers, trainee teachers, and in-service teachers at the State Institute for Teacher Training and School Development. The goal is to reflect on the societal prerequisites and consequences of digital data processing with the participants. The workshop will impart skills in the evaluation of data sources and their quality and the role of socio-technical processes in social networks. At the same time, the participants will learn to use these skills in their own teaching concepts and teach them to students.
2. Innovation by Legal Design Thinking —Student Digitalization Lab: The StudDigiLab is open to law and computer science students who are to digitize and optimize the real, internal processes of the cooperation partner Die Caritas in the seminar. On the basis of an open-ended design task, participants will learn about legal design to develop innovative solutions. The course familiarizes students with different disciplinary perspectives and contributes to strengthening their data skills using the example of the digitalization of public (legal) services.
3. Data-Driven Solutions for the Smart City Hamburg (D²S²C): In the project Data-Driven Solutions for the Smart City Hamburg (D²S²C), students analyze real-life challenges from the field of Smart City and develop prototype solutions. Students work together with HOCHBAHN, HSV/Future Dock and the State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying, thus enabling a transfer between theory and practice. Working on real-world projects sharpens and expands students' data literacy in the areas of data collection and evaluation, transferring data into knowledge, and making predictions based on data.

The second round of calls will start at the beginning of September 2022
