The objective is to blend these two areas of research to derive a first set of preliminary policy implications for so called “Smart Region” strategies.

Event: The energy transformation and digital transformation
A recent study shows: 60 % of the energy companies consider their staff insufficiently qualified for the digital transformation and 64 % have to postpone new projects and business ideas due to a lack of (digital) skills. The energy turnaround and digital transformation pose new challenges for HRM – new concepts for leadership and change management are required.
Teams of students have dedicated themselves to this task within the module “Business Administration M.Sc. Leadership and Change Management” in the SoSe 2020 in cooperation with HR managers and experts from the energy industry.
The results of these studies and projects will be presented and discussed in a public event at the university on July 17, 2020.

Panel Discussion: The European Green Deal in the (Corona) Crisis?
The panel discussion, in which Prof. Dr. Ulrich Klüh participated, is now available online on YouTube:
Project “Bicycle delivery service for Darmstadt” launched
Freight transport has increased significantly in recent years. This has been accompanied by increasing environmental pollution through emissions and a growing use of traffic areas. The quality of life in cities is declining and conflicts with other road users are on the increase. One of the reasons for this development is the growing desire to deliver goods to the door. Innovative concepts are therefore needed to satisfy this demand in a way that is as compatible as possible for everyone.
A research project of the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt together with the Research Lab for Urban Transport der FRA-UAS is pursuing exactly such a concept.
