TRAILS+ (Traveling Innovation Labs and Services)

• Conceptual design of the classroom and virtual workshop formats
• Didactic and methodical design of the teaching formats 
• Integration of diversity-sensitive issues within the implementation of innovation workshops
• Knowledge and content-related support in the areas of entrepreneurship and innovation
• Accompanying research with special focus on entrepreneurial education

The aim of the project is to promote innovation capacities in the Saxon-Polish border region and to connect educational institutions as well as local actors and multipliers (e.g. teachers) across borders for this purpose. The concept was developed by the WISSENSARCHITEKTUR - Laboratory of Knowledge Architecture of the TU Dresden and is implemented together with the Center for Knowledge and Innovation of the TU Wroclaw and the Marshal's Office of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship as project partners. The basic idea of TRAILS+ is to give students and SME employees in rural and often economically weak regions access to new formats such as maker spaces, hackathons and startup weekends that are otherwise only offered in urban areas. Companies such as Google, for example, use this principle worldwide to initiate innovations and startup ideas as well as to develop them into successful business models and at the same time to secure the next generation of employees. The innovation of TRAILS+ is to modify such formats and use them to strengthen local and regional development in smaller cities and communities as well.
