This cateogory is different: If a project / blank-tile / unlinked-tile / or case-study post gets also this category, it will be shown as a tile on the homepage.
In other words – all posts that should be seen on the homepage should get this category!!!
From simple to hellish. From A – Z.
Whether you prefer to elicit the carefully guarded word from the little tiger, let the letterbee bring letters and form words until your head starts spinning, or to think around the corner on a Sunday morning – everyone will find something here and get to pondering.
U-Multirank is a new multidimensional, user-driven approach to international ranking of higher education institutions. The dimensions it includes are teaching and learning, research, knowledge transfer, international orientation and regional engagement. Based on empirical data U-Multirank will compare institutions with similar institutional profiles and allow users to develop personalised rankings by selecting indicators in terms of their own preferences.
European Commission is funding the project for the next two years. A first ranking will be published in early 2014 covering at least 500 higher education institutions from Europe and beyond. It will provide an institutional ranking of whole institutions as well as field-based rankings for engineering, business and physics. After 2014 the coverage of institutions and fields will be extended progressively.
Folge 3 is a partner in an international consortium to develop U-Multirank. We were responsible to deliver the brand strategy, the logo and the webtool.

Dresden’s museums are part of an association of eight municipal museums in the regional capital of Saxony and look after the city’s art collection, objects pertaining to the city’s history and Saxony’s industrial and technological history. They represent the memory of civic Dresden and the region and document its varied history as silent witnesses. The collections comprise artworks and objects of all kinds. Paintings, graphics, sculptures and industrial objects, written documents and handicrafts.
For some time, these artefacts have been digitalized to present them on the internet to a wider audience. In the “virtual museum” thus created, users can become acquainted with the collections irrespective of where they are located, and follow up on what they have seen during a museum visit, thus deepening their knowledge. This expansion into the virtual world offers museums many attractive options. They can expand their reach, involve the interested public more and continue to build on their social significance. The creation of the collection database was put out to tender as part of an ideas competition by the museums of the city of Dresden. Our concept prevailed against three other competitors, winning the contract to implement the project.
The focus of our approach is always based on the current content, be it individual objects, curated object contexts or results of user inputs such as searches or assembling artefacts in collection folders. All the tool’s controls are arranged around the edges and can be folded out when needed. This provides the greatest amount of space possible for the objects to be displayed at full resolution and shown in the greatest detail. Depending on the context, further levels of detail with meta information, alternative views and contexts can be displayed.
It is possible to access the collection both by browsing and by taking a specific route. In addition to curated tours, access to the academic system, and a field-based filter, above all, the integrated live full text search offers immediate and simple access to the many thousands of objects that have lain dormant for years as undiscovered treasures in the archives, and which in future years will be available to public scrutiny.
TRENDONE is a renowned Hamburg consulting firm for strategic future issues & trends.
In times when disruptive ideas, innovative developments and radical technical progress challenge many industries, enterprises structure themselves increasingly new. Innovation processes are being embedded into organizations and are the foundation for continuous adaptation of future development. TRENDONE provides substantial information about current trends for many different business environments. In addition, the Hamburg-based company has created a platform with the necessary tools for researching, evaluating and recording future developments and provides insights how a company is prepared for relevant trends.
One of these tools is the Trendmanager with the integrated Trendradar. The Trendmanager assists companies to detect relevant developments from all mega, macro and micro trends identified by TRENDONE. It allows them to store all findings in a company-specific trend pool and evaluates their future impact on the company. For these tasks, the Trendradar offers various views that categorize trends and correlates them. The view “Recommendations for Action” is subdivided into the three fields “Act”, “Prepare” and “Watch” and provides an overview of how relevant trends should be taken into account for innovation processes and corporate decisions. “Readiness Gap“ delivers insights into weaknesses and excellences of a company and where the focus should be set to ensure a successful future development.
In close cooperation with TRENDONE Folge 3 developed the views of the Trendradar over a period of several months by subsequently creating the visual concept and finally ensuring the implementation of the dynamic and animated views.
Coinciding with the publication of the print edition of the ZEIT study guide, every year ZEIT ONLINE launches a new version of the CHE college ranking database. The ranking evaluates the quality of research and teaching at colleges as well as faculty development based on various criteria.
A variety of search approaches, such as by major, place of study and/or the user’s own compilation of evaluation criteria, give users the ability to create a customized overview of the various study programs and colleges.
These individual views are put together from a wide range of separate data. This results in high demands being placed on the visualization of these modules, which must have the ability to be combined in every possible way. We developed the initial programming and, together with scientists from the CHE and journalists from ZEIT, revise the backend for the new release every year. The search function is a core feature of the college ranking, and a great deal of attention is paid to it. It was implemented using Lucene.
In 2013, we optimized the college ranking website for display on smartphones.
