seminars due to its effectiveness and clear advantages in terms of the integration of
theory, methodology and practice.
Last but not least, the projects goals coincide with national policies on environmental impacts of climate change, e.g. the “development of recommendations/action
strategies for land cultivation from the perspective of the climate change” (UBA
2016). It shows that universities can play a crucial role to initiate and intensify the
dialogue between academics and practitioners in the sense of the so-called 3rd mission. The term has become rapidly popular to refer to a further goal to add to the
universities traditional teaching and research missions: the perceived need to engage
with societal demands and link the university with its socio-economic context (UnivVal 2008). Societal demands and socio-economic contexts, as well as environmental
requirements, but especially the integration of these different domains, are fundamental aspects of “BebeR”. In such a sense and due to its broad approach, “BebeR”
works as a living laboratory. This idea is furthermore supported through the inclusion
of citizens which marks an additional step toward improved participation and at least
democratization of measures to be implemented to mitigate harmful consequences
of climate change.
