Together with Konstantin Leidinger and Laurenz Weiße, Kira and Viktoria contributed the chapter “Enabling Impactful Change through Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship: The impACTup! Case” to the newly published Handbook of Teaching and Learning in Social Innovation.

The chapter introduces impACTup!, a joint program by LMU Munich and the University of Augsburg that brings together social innovation, entrepreneurship education, and interdisciplinary learning.

It reflects on how universities can help students and researchers develop the knowledge and mindset needed to create meaningful impact, while also discussing the practical opportunities and challenges of implementing such a program across disciplines.

Congratulations to all authors on the publication!
