Current Projects

Outpatient healthcare provided by medical care centres is a kind of prism through which healthcare in Germany can be viewed. At the same time, the actual effects of different medical care centre models on the healthcare landscape remain largely unknown. Against this backdrop, we are combining an examination of the status quo with a forward-looking, potential-oriented analysis.

Complexity and lack of transparency is constantly increasing in times of digital transformation and supply chains that are expanding due to increasing networks, making it more difficult to detect and prevent modern slavery. Goal 8.7 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals calls for the abolition of modern slavery, Goal 8.8 aims to protect labor rights and safe working environments, while national legislation also addresses the issue (e.g. the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act). Based on innovative technology applications, the project contributes to the struggle for a fair economic system and the emancipation of marginalized groups. Especially in times of multiple crises such as pandemics, economic instability, political crises and wars, the need for a global sustainability transformation becomes clear, which must be designed for the benefit of humanity and especially vulnerable groups such as workers.
