Trinationale Kooperationsplattform für Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen, Einrichtungen Sozialer Arbeit und nachhaltigkeitsorientierte Unternehmen

TRICOP aims to build a cooperation platform that connects sustainability initiatives, businesses and social work institutions, opening up spaces for trinational cooperation and innovation. There are numerous possibilities for networking, such as linking urban gardening with day centres for people with mental illnesses or marginalized groups such as refugees. TRICOP is conceived as a trinational study and cooperation project of the University of Basel and the EH Freiburg and is funded by the Intercantonal Coordination Office at the Regio Basiliensis (IKRB) as representative of the Swiss Confederation within the framework of the New Regional Policy and the Canton of Basel-Landschaft. This project is realized through various student project at the EH Freiburg and the University of Basel. Specifically, through different seminars and workshops students learn different skills to research and identify various cooperation potentials, using literature/internet research, interviews or focus groups. Accompanying this, concrete cooperations are initiated by contacting actors, setting impulses for trinational cooperations and, as far as possible, consolidating them within a cooperation platform. The aim of the project is that the online platform functions as a networking/communication and search platform through which potential cooperation partners can be found and networked.
