As part of the Orient project, we researched the introduction of new technologies and the learning of new skills ("orientation") for the effective use of technologies in the sense of co-creation in the field of care as part of a large research consortium. In particular, the focus was on the use of care robots. While collaboration with stakeholders from the care sector took place repeatedly within the research project, we did not work with permanent partners from practice in this project.

The DFG-funded project is mainly concerned with the search for the specific building blocks of organisational identity and is both qualitatively and quantitatively empirically oriented. The project takes place in co-operation with the companies from the business clusters in the Black Forest and in Glashütte.
