EPURA

Evaluation, processes, upscaling, replication & application

What are we doing?

Our contribution to the overall MCube strategy

Our project deals with evaluation, process evaluation, upscaling, replication and application of the project processes and results. In this way, utilization and exploitation strategies can be created for the metropolitan region and can also be applied outside the cluster. EPURA acts as an accompanying monitoring of the MCube overall strategy, improves internal processes and promotes new implementation projects.

With EPURA, we ensure that MCube not only has an impact locally, but also far beyond regional borders - and even beyond the limits of existing funding. 🚀

How do we work?

The EPURA process: evaluation and utilization in MCube

Our EPURA process ensures that the findings from MCube are used effectively and developed further. It consists of five central areas:

  • EvaluationThe impact of the projects is measured with the help of indicators.
  • Process evaluation: Through process evaluation, we identify risks, barriers and drivers of MCube projects and derive lessons learned.
  • UpscalingWe estimate what effects a project could achieve if it is thought beyond the experimental status.
  • Replication PackagesGained insights are prepared for stakeholders within and outside the metropolitan region so that practice is inspired and benefits from the lessons learned in the cluster.
  • ApplicationThe knowledge gained is processed in order to put it into practice. We accompany all MCube project plans and act accordingly in the individual real laboratories or advise municipalities in the Munich metropolitan region.

From evaluation to application: The strategic process behind MCube

Evaluation

In this process step, the impact evaluation is implemented. We build on the findings from MCube Phase 1. The objectives are to update the MCube Indicators GuidesThe creation of specific evaluation plans for innovation projects, regular evaluation check-ins and the development and collection of a Output indicator sets. Finally, the results are presented in the MCube consortium.

Process evaluation

In this process step, the process evaluation is continued. Lessons learned from MCube phase 1 are systematically transferred to phase 2. Over the entire duration of the project, a detailed process evaluation and a digital knowledge basewhich documents and communicates key findings in a sustainable manner.

Upscaling

A practical tool for upscaling studies of MCube innovations is being developed here. Innovation projects will receive guidance on how to use this tool to assess the impact of a broader application of their solutions on the MCube dimensions of space, time and air quality to evaluate.

Replication

In this process step "Replication Guides"that support municipalities and other stakeholders in making the best possible use of the findings from MCube. They offer both inspiration and concrete instructions for implementing successful approaches.

Application

Here we ensure the transfer of knowledge into practice - in the areas of Entrepreneurship, implementation and education. The aim is to achieve long-term social and economic effects. EPURA coordinates links with relevant programs such as UnternehmerTUM, EIT Urban Mobility and Venture Lab Urban Mobility, without creating start-up programs or teaching materials itself.

Who is behind it?

A motivated consortium of experienced partners from science, business, the public sector and society is working together in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary manner on the pressing issues of our time.

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∙.
