M.A. Management von Clustern und regionalen Netzwerken
"I wanted to utilise my interpersonal skills and fulfil my entrepreneurial inclination, as well as study in an international environment. After visiting the ITIRI and meeting the directors of the Master's programme during the open days, I had no more doubts. A perfect balance between theoretical and practical approaches, numerous lecturers from the field, many practice-oriented projects, as well as the possibility to do the dual study programme in the second year... These are the plus points of the Master's programme that convinced me."
« In this double master's programme, we are trained to become real experts in the promotion of regional cooperation and innovation, which is what led me to choose this master's degree. By studying the dynamics of public/private/research networks, we develop transversal skills in strategic management, project management, collective intelligence and regional economic development. I was also impressed by the innovative teaching offered by the two universities. The students co-design their courses."

Do you enjoy working with people? Would you like to make a solution-orientated contribution to making your region or city future-proof and crisis-proof? Then the Master's programme "Management of Regional Innovation Ecosystems" is the right place for you! Cities and regions are increasingly having to raise their profile in the competition for investors, jobs and funding. They are faced with the task of having to implement diverse transformation processes (climate protection/artificial intelligence/digitalisation etc.). These challenges can often only be mastered through the joint action of important local and regional players in networks, regional innovation ecosystems. In this degree programme, we provide the necessary practical tools to build and manage these networks.
