Rethinking Bayreuth's University Location Together

With the situation discussion on October 1, 2026, the "Mission: Bella Bayreuth!" kicks off in the Open Innovation Lab in Bayreuth. People from the university, business, and society come together to further develop the university location and build a new innovation community.

Kicking Off a Special Innovation Mission

The event is not seen as a traditional kickoff. The focus is on new perspectives, creative thinking, and direct exchange between different stakeholders. The event atmosphere thrives on the question of what can emerge when experiences, contacts, and ideas come together.

Practice Partners Shape the Path

During the situation discussion, potential partners get an initial insight into their possible role within the mission. They accompany student teams at selected stations, contribute their professional perspectives, and provide impulses from the first idea to implementation.

From Idea to Implementation

"Mission: Bella Bayreuth!" is designed as an innovation format over an entire semester. Students further develop new or existing ideas for the university location Bayreuth and connect creative approaches with viable business and revenue models as well as real implementation potential. Several events – from the situation discussion to the practice briefing to the showdown – frame the event experience.

Proven Format with Award

The concept was previously tested in the summer semester as "Mission: Help Grandma!" and was awarded the Enabler Prize from the Bavarian Economy and HOCHSPRUNG. This background underscores the commitment to organization, event management, and effective target audience communication.

Conclusion: The First Step into a Shared Future

The free situation discussion is aimed at potential partners who want to actively shape Bayreuth's university location. Anyone wanting to share perspectives, bring in contacts, and advance innovation in the region will experience here the official start of an ambitious mission.
