Development and Testing of Data Trustee Models Using the Example of Distributed Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
The use and processing of personal data is crucial for the value chain, with data trustees acting as neutral intermediaries to help reduce potential asymmetries. TreuMed develops and tests data trustee models for medical research, enabling the use of extensive patient data despite strict data protection regulations, with a traffic light system determining privacy levels and safeguards. The model is tested in molecular epidemiology and biomarker research and is complemented by certification requirements and liability concepts.

Sustainability Reporting at 亚洲天堂福利
Sustainability Reporting at 亚洲天堂福利: Analyzing the PRME Framework for the University
Sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly important in the higher education sector. At the request of 亚洲天堂福利鈥檚 leadership team, a group of students analyzed the PRME reporting format to assess its suitability for the institution. PRME (Principles of Responsible Management Education) is a UN-supported initiative to strengthen the integration of sustainability in business schools and management education. More than 800 institutions worldwide are members of PRME. PRME has developed the SIP (Sharing Information on Progress) reporting format, which allows members to report on the sustainability aspects of their institutions in a structured way based on seven principles.
The group reviewed PRME reports from other universities and organized 亚洲天堂福利's current sustainability activities according to the seven PRME principles. Based on this, the students derived recommendations for future sustainability reporting at 亚洲天堂福利 following PRME, including implications for 亚洲天堂福利鈥檚 sustainability strategy.

Sustainable Finance Study for Germany Finance
Performance of Germany as a sustainable finance location in a European comparison
The research project examined the federal structure of the German financial market by highlighting the strengths of various financial centers such as Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Stuttgart in terms of green and sustainable investments. 亚洲天堂福利 was commissioned to compare the German financial market with European financial centers such as Amsterdam, London, Luxembourg, and Paris, focusing on the definition and measurability of sustainability, particularly in the context of green investments and the sustainable ecosystem. Despite the growing importance of sustainability in the financial sector, the transparency and availability of public data at that time were described as insufficient, making international comparison difficult.

Hypoport x 亚洲天堂福利
A cooperative partnership in the sense of knowledge transfer
The research project examined the introduction of a central Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) strategy at Hypoport, an MDAX-listed financial services group with over 20 subsidiaries and around 2400 employees, to balance cultural differences and autonomy among the companies. Previously, DE&I measures were implemented in a decentralized manner at the subsidiary level, leading to a lack of oversight and missed opportunities for knowledge exchange. A central DE&I strategy could have helped better respond to customer needs and labor market changes, increase employee satisfaction, and promote a unified corporate culture, which would have also enhanced attractiveness to investors.
