The transfer advisory board of the InNoWest joint project began its work with a constituent meeting on 2 May 2024 at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences. With this cross-university committee, the three partner universities from Eberswalde, Potsdam and Brandenburg an der Havel are not only setting an example for the further expansion of the network in the North-West Brandenburg region, but also for closer integration between the universities.

The aim of the Transfer Advisory Board is to support and help shape the InNoWest university network with external expertise as a critical source of information and advice. The committee will initially meet once a year. The diversity of the group is special, as it has succeeded in attracting a broad selection of recognised experts with many years of experience in their respective fields of activity. Individuals and organisations from business, science, civil society and politics are represented, both regionally and nationally. 

The kick-off meeting at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences provided an initial opportunity for productive dialogue with the experts on the advisory board. After both the InNoWest university network and the members of the advisory board had introduced themselves, the committee was able to actively begin its work: In a short workshop, an external view was taken on the topic of impact planning in order to bring the power of the joint project to full fruition. In addition, the transfer advisory board was asked to provide initial feedback and ideas on the concepts of the future transfer fund and the transfer locations.

The advisory board offers the partner universities an opportunity to strengthen their links with non-university organisations and to become effective in solving social challenges through the transfer of knowledge between universities and other stakeholders.
