CREAPOLIS Award recognizes successful transfer

In order to promote the transfer of knowledge to companies and society, Coburg University of Applied Sciences has been presenting the CREAPOLIS Award for outstanding transfer since 2018.
The award was initiated by the Transfer and Entrepreneurship Department.
From interdisciplinary student projects to cooperation formats and events: Transfer activities are demonstrated in various forms of implementation.
A jury evaluates the submitted projects and selects the one that is characterized by particularly successful transfer.

CREAPOLIS Award 2023

The jury of the CREAPOLIS Award for Successful Transfer has made its choice: President Gast will present the sixth CREAPOLIS Award in 2023 to the project “Change in mobility behavior and services in the insurance industry” – “DiVers” for short, to Prof. Dr. Mathias Wilde, Lukas Riedelbauch, member of the Faculty of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, and HUK-COBURG as cooperation partner, on behalf of the entire project consortium.

Four people stand on a stage at Hochschule Coburg, two holding certificates and a glass award. A large screen behind them displays: "Creapolis-Award für herausragenden Transfer" and "Prof. Dr. Stefan Gast | Präsident." The event appears to be an award ceremony.

The Tandem Prize was awarded again this year: Prof. Dr. Rainer Hirth from the Faculty of Design and Julius Möhrstedt from the Bad Staffelstein-based photovoltaic company IBC SOLAR were honored for their Circular Tiny House project.
The jury selected this project from a wide range of applications.
“With the Circular Tiny House project, you have succeeded in constructing a space-optimized, energy self-sufficient and environmentally friendly building together with over 50 students from the fields of architecture and interior design,” said Gast, praising the project on behalf of the jury.
He also thanked the other jury members Sylvia Endres, Managing Director of the Coburg Design Forum Upper Franconia, Frank Ebert, Managing Director of Oberfranken Offensiv and Siegmar Schnabel, Managing Director of the Coburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

New experiences: A team of researchers is working with local authorities and industry to test the use of autonomous buses in local public transport.
The Shuttle Model Region Upper Franconia project has now received the 2021 CREAPOLIS Award from Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
“People are proud that their municipality is at the forefront of something so innovative,” says Prof. Dr. Mathias Wilde.
The Professor of Networked Mobility and his team at Coburg University of Applied Sciences are researching the integration of autonomous shuttles into traffic planning and transportation systems and their acceptance by citizens.
Prof. Dr. Ralf Reißing, who teaches at the university as Professor of Automotive Informatics, is researching safety and incident management.
Valeo develops switches and sensors for autonomous vehicles.
The Kronach-based company is the global market leader for sensor technology in the field of driver assistance and leads the consortium of the SMO project.

But if the pipe now has a hole: ISAT at Coburg University of Applied Sciences and the medium-sized company Schmelzer have jointly solved a problem that frequently occurs in grain conveying systems.
The high-tech project has now received the CREAPOLIS Award.
The collaboration between ISAT, the university’s Institute for Sensor and Actuator Technology, and the medium-sized company Schmelzer was deemed a best-practice example by the jury this time.
The decisive factor was the question of how changes in such a pipe can be perceived.
“Whenever standard techniques are no longer sufficient, guided sound waves are used,” explains Drese.
Sound waves cause the surface of the pipe to vibrate.
If the thickness of the material changes, the vibration also changes – a sensor detects this long before a hole is created.
This allows the pipe system to be monitored continuously and automatically.
Necessary maintenance work is scheduled for a suitable time and only what is really worn is replaced.
