As a result of the transdisciplinary research project Innova.GEIST, funded by the BMFTR as part of the WIR Alliance for Life and Technology, we are delighted to release the science-practice podcast *Innovation in the mud*. Produced by Jan Schilling (Akustikwerk) and Anja Mutschler and Dr JULIA GABLER from the TRAWOS Institute.
In nine episodes, we discuss research into and the development of technological and social innovations in the context of structural change in Lusatia.
The project was carried out by the TRAWOS Institute at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG) in cooperation with AQVA Synergy GmbH and ran from March 2024 to December 2025.
