POLE

What is POLE?

Project Oriented Learning Environment – POLE

is an international and interdisciplinary study platform that permits the development of innovation projects in cooperation with industry partners.

POLE´s Ideology

Knowledge producers and knowledge users need the dialogue to bring about better and sustainable solutions! There is something like collective intelligence. Transdisciplinarity trans-gresses boundaries and searches for more socially robust solutions. Learning is a social activity. We are looking for solutions that are

- boundary crossing - integrative - holistic - sustainable

POLE´s History

POLE exists for over 10 years now. It has been founded in 2001 by Prof. Dr. Christoph Holliger. On that time he was visiting professor at Standford University and strongly involved into the beginnings of „design thinking“. This approach is still one of the fundamentals of POLE. In the meantime, challenging and complex projects have been realized in cooperation with companies such as Nestlé, Volkswagen, Mammut Sports Group and others. In 2012 POLE has become part of the progam of studies in iCompetence.
