News from MCube EPURA: The new indicator guide is here!

We are pleased to announce a new publication from the project MCube EPURA to be able to introduce you: The Indicator guide for measuring the impact of innovation projects is now available!

The guide offers a comprehensive collection of indicators that can be used specifically to evaluate and analyze the impact of innovation projects. In addition to clear definitions of the individual indicators, the publication contains practical recommendations on suitable survey methods as well as further literature references for a more in-depth discussion.

A particular added value of the guide lies in its open and flexible structure:
The indicators are designed in such a way that they can be adapted to specific projects. Depending on the data situation and interest in findings, quantitative or qualitative survey approaches can be selected. This makes the guide suitable for both current and future innovation projects.

Why is the guide important?

The aim of the publication is to,

  • the Systematically make the influence of innovation projects visible,

  • to make the knowledge gained usable for follow-up projects in a structured manner and

  • the Strategic orientation for the coming funding phase of the cluster to provide well-founded support.

The indicator guide now provides a practice-oriented tool that creates transparency, increases comparability and strengthens impact orientation in the cluster.

Many thanks to the authors Matthias Grundei, Carolin Zimmer, Mathieu Riou, Maximilian Pfertner and Sarah Franke for the development of this helpful tool!

The lessons learned from the first MCube funding phase show which factors really drive projects forward - and where typical barriers arise.

For the first time in this format, students made their way to three European cities. They went to Stockholm, Tallinn/Helsinki and Barcelona.

This time, mobility in the cities of Ljubljana, Genoa and Utrecht was examined.

How can mobility data and simulations make cities more liveable - and change visible and tangible?

What do Brussels, Lisbon, Milan and Paris have in common?

Where to put cars, bicycles and e-scooters - and how do we organize parking space fairly, efficiently and sustainably?

The Mobi-Score - The hidden costs of mobility at a glance

Resilient change towards sustainable mobility - lessons for a transformative urban mobility policy

Experimenting for the mobility transition - impetus for municipalities to dealing with real-world laboratories

Public spaces and social participation - The WHAT and HOW of comprehensive Participation for a local mobility transition

What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!

The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.

What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily. 

What is happening in the district?

  • In the year 2025:
    The people in the district can participate. They can express their ideas. There are discussions, surveys and meetings. Researchers are also starting their work.
  • In the year 2026:
    Some ideas are tried out.
    They are moved around the streets for a certain period of time.
  • In the year 2027:
    The results are evaluated.
    Consideration is given to how things can continue∙.
