Scope of the Work Package
In WP 5, all content-related and organizational integration activities of the ProMUT junior research group are carried out. The main goals of the joint group work in this work package are to promote the integration of knowledge between the disciplines involved, to develop a vision and concrete transformative approaches for "Sustainability Management 4.0" and to derive recommendations for action from this. For this purpose, in a transdisciplinary sense, a specific product (demonstrator) is to be created that is perceived as being so relevant that it is attractive to later transfer it to operational business practice. In this demonstrator, the most important solutions of the work packages developed in ProMUT are to be presented in an integrated application example at the end of the project in order to present them to a broad public in a comprehensible manner. The vision of sustainability management 4.0, the recommendations for action derived from it and the demonstrator represent the core results of the integrative work in work package 5.
