Recently, three students, two from the University of Kassel and one from the University of Vienna, were mentored by Smarter Together and received information and feedback on questions concerning Smarter Together Vienna and the Smart City of the future.

At the University of Kassel, Franziska Hedderich and Marlene Kleinschmidt are preparing a seminar paper on the topic of „City management. today. tomorrow. the day after tomorrow“ and specifically on the question of digital participation. At the University of Vienna, Yvonne Gaspar is investigating the participation potential of sustainable urban development in Vienna („Cooperative Urban and Regional Development“) as part of her Master’s thesis.

We wish them good luck in shaping their life goals – and first of all, to graduate!

Anchored in the curriculum vitae

Smarter Together Vienna has already interested many students and many have already researched and written about it in their seminar papers, master’s theses or even doctoral dissertations. And because every student’s own work has such an impact on them and they simply carry this life experience with them throughout their entire professional lives, mentoring students is all the more important. Because this way they will always carry the values and visions of Smarter Together Vienna with them.

Thanks to the now common video conferencing technology, such mentoring is also become even easier. It cannot quite replace the „haptic“ experience of a guided on-site walk through the Smarter Together Vienna neighbourhood, but a personal exchange is certainly possible.

Platform for universitary studies for students

Incidentally, the City of Vienna offers its own platform for interested students, where they can find or submit topics relevant to the city for their student research projects (bachelor’s theses, master’s theses, dissertations). Link: https://stp.wien.gv.at/abschlussarbeiten/anbieter/#/home
