CoLabs
As part of the CoLabs, researchers from the COLOURS partner universities and stakeholders from the participating European regions work together on current social challenges. The aim is to bring together people from research and education, business and industry, public administration, politics and civil society in order to incorporate a wide range of perspectives. The Alliance has identified the fields of health and well-being, food production, green transition, IT and digitalisation as overarching topics. The individual CoLab events will jointly develop viable solutions for these current topics.
October 07.-09.: CoLab "Mental Health, Body Image and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) - Challenges for Future Society"
The CoLab event will explore challenges in the areas of mental health and body image in the context of equality, diversity and inclusion and develop solutions to improve body image and mental health for marginalized populations.
The event takes place at the Start-up Campus OWL, at Ausblick 1, 33100 Paderborn
Due to its international focus and international guests, the event will be held in English.

Bei der CoLab-Veranstaltung ?Communicating Green Transitions” werden Herausforderungen in der Kommunikation über Nachhaltigkeitsthemen untersucht und L?sungen für zielgruppengerechten Informationsaustausch sowie für mehr Akzeptanz gegenüber dem komplexen Thema Nachhaltigkeit entwickelt.
Das CoLab untersucht die aktuelle Kommunikation zu Themen wie ?kologischer Wandel, Verkehr und Mobilit?t und entwickelt L?sungsans?tze zur Verbesserung der Kommunikationsstrategien in diesen Kontexten. Dabei besch?ftigen sich die Teilnehmenden in unterschiedlichen 365体育_足球比分网￥投注直播官网s mit folgenden Herausforderungen:
- Wie kann effektive Kommunikation am besten dazu beitragen, die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz von grünem Wandel zu erh?hen?
- Wie k?nnen wir neben der Bewusstseinsbildung auch zum Handeln anregen und Verhaltens?nderungen in der Gesellschaft f?rdern, um den grünen Wandel dauerhaft und nachhaltig zu gestalten?
- Welche Wege gibt es, komplexe und unsichere wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und Forschungsergebnisse zu grünem Wandel, Verkehr und Mobilit?t zu kommunizieren?
- Wie k?nnen wir falschen Narrativen, Fehlinformationen und Fake News im Zusammenhang mit grünem Wandel entgegenwirken?
- Welche Rolle spielen Popularisierung und Content-Marketing in diesem Zusammenhang?
- Wie k?nnen wir negative Auswirkungen des grünen Wandels am besten ansprechen und potenzielle Unzufriedenheit der Betroffenen adressieren?
- Und wie k?nnen wir am besten über die Gewinner und Verlierer des grünen Wandels sprechen und die tats?chlichen sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen anerkennen, ohne uns auf Argumente vermeintlicher moralischer ?berlegenheit zu stützen?
Das CoLab findet im Akzelerator der Garage33, Ausblick 1, 33100 Paderborn statt.
Aufgrund der internationalen Ausrichtung und der internationalen G?ste wird die Veranstaltung in englischer Sprache abgehalten.
Das CoLab wird am Dienstag, den 24. Juni 2025, von 10.30-12.30 Uhr und 13.30-15.00 Uhr über den folgenden Link live gestreamt:
