How can you promote knowledge transfer and dialogue with people in the region? A project team from the University of Konstanz, the HTWG Konstanz and the PH Thurgau has developed a multifunctional box as a mobile exhibition space. The construction is mounted on a bike trailer and can be used for various purposes. This is why it aptly bears the name "Transferrad" (transfer on wheels). Now it has been presented to the public.

The lecture series “From Gießberg to the City” will continue in the winter semester 2024/25. The lecture series presents various transfer projects and transfer facilities at the university. It is itself an opportunity to engage in conversation with one another.
