SCIENCE WITH AND FOR CITIZENS AND CITIES

We use participatory and civic research approaches for knowledge co-creation

 

Involving urban residents, policy makers, and green space managers in research is essential for maximum impact and for meaningful urban transformation towards sustainable futures.

Here you can learn about how our work leverages academic-public partnerships, explore ways that you can get involved directly in projects happening in and around your neighborhood, or simply find resources in urban productive ecosystems.

How do oases in the city make you feel?

Alongside our crowdsourcing campaign around where oases are in the city fo Munich residents, we are also looking to get more information about what makes these places valuable to people — especially given the impacts of urban heat. We have surveys distributed across the city where we ask passerby’s to take a minute to feel, think and reflect on how the green space may positively promote dimensions of their wellbeing.

Agriculture on Tap

Together with the Hans Eisenmann-Forum für Agrarwissenschaften we started a new lecture series. Here, we meet speakers from various fields of agricultural and environmental sciences for inspiring talks and lively discussion. We meet in a casual atmosphere in Freising to discuss scientific topics, and also livestream the events for those at home.

Look forward to seeing you at Furtnerbräu, or online!

Safari Freising

The TUM "Urban Ecosystems Group" in cooperation with the StadtNatur of the Bund Naurschutz Freising starts a new format for exchanging urban ecology topics beyond the "campus bubble" with all interested. The "Walk & Talk" series explores the urban fauna of Freising - questions and ideas can be discussed at any time along the way. Afterwards, we will have the opportunity to deepen both over a cozy evening drink in the old town.
