The research project "Implementation Conditions for Frugality in Innovation Processes" has been running since October 2020 under the direction of Prof. Liefner. Together with the cooperation partner Prof. Rao (IIT Madras, Chennai), the factors that favor or inhibit the implementation of frugal principles in innovation processes are being researched. Frugal innovations can make an important contribution to a more sustainable economy and also improve the quality of life of low-income sections of the population. The project is financed by the PRO*Niedersachsen initiative and will run for three years. The project is processed by Julian Barnikol.
