We drive transformation at the intersection of innovation, knowledge and design.

Acceleration, digitalization, complexity – we are in the midst of a profound transformation process that fundamentally changes the way we learn, communicate, and work. This is where our three labs come in: we explore futures, make them tangible and transferable in a creative and inspiring way, and reveal new transformation pathways.

What we’re up to at Ellery

The #landuse competition for the purposes of #clim

The #landuse competition for the purposes of #climatechange mitigation, #foodsecurity, and the conservation of #biologicaldiversity comes from the view that any one of these challenges' goals can only be met at the expense of the other two. But what if there were ways to combine #conservation efforts and generate multiple benefits in uses of landscape to overcome this tug of war?
In the spirit of #WorldWildlifeDay let's look at #biodiversity; preventing the further degradation and destruction of #ecosystems also benefits climate-change mitigation by avoiding #CO2emissions and preserving natural carbon reservoirs.

Go check out German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU)'s strategies on this land trilemma "Rethinking Land in the Anthropocene: from Separation to Integration" – lInk in bio.

WBGU (German Advisory Council on Global Change)'s

WBGU (German Advisory Council on Global Change)'s report "Rethinking Land in the Anthropocene: from Separation to Integration" is now freshly printed! 🙌 🙌
"Only if there is a fundamental change in the way we manage land can we reach the targets of #climatechange mitigation, avert the dramatic loss of #biodiversity and make the global #foodsystem sustainable." Previously only available digitally, you can now get hold of a physical report of WBGU's stunning proposal of 5 strategies to overcome #landuse rivalry.

We were in charge of the #visualstrategy of the #sciencecommunication including #illustations and #infogaphics while working with scientists and researchers to translate scientific findings into tangible, informative, and exciting visuals. The publication is in German, but the English version is to be released mid 2021 – until then check out the English summary now! 🌿 Link in bio!

@digital_sparks_ brings #socialissues to school as a platform of online workshops for students from the 9th grade ⚡️ They enable an active, collaborative, and creative process - from exploring the topic, designing possible solutions, to sharing and reflecting on the results. As a futurist, @dodovoegler took part in the conception of the next course - #futuresstudies (#Zukunftsforschung)! Together with the team from @educationinnovationlab, we stirred up exciting futures content during our first workshop.😁 With @poetic_futures, Nushin Yazdani, Sarah Fasbender, Kyra Wider, and Serkan Ünsal 🙌

In the face of the current pandemic, companies are accelerating the process of experimenting with new things and finding solutions to continue their daily operations. But the important question is: how do we want to shape the #futureofwork? 🔭 💼

We developed a digital workshop concept for @thueringen_kreativ to track forward to 2040 and translate future visions into shapable, tangible formats. Through foresight methods, the group discovered that examining alternative futures not only opens up new spaces for action, but also creates competencies for future challenges.

We started off with creating a common ground of knowledge on Speculative Design, after which the participants developed scenarios based on different speculations about the future of work. The needs and problems were addressed in the forms of speculative ideas and prototypes 💡, sparking debate about multiple possibilities of what work might look like in the not-so-distant future.

The outbreak of #COVID19 has demonstrated the critical role of female researchers in the fight against the pandemic. At the same time, the #globalpandemic also had a significant negative impact on female scientists especially those at the early stages of their career, revealing the #genderdisparities in the scientific system that need to be addressed by further policies and mechanisms.

Today we celebrate the #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬 While less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women, they're at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19 - let's keep this wave of #femaleempowerment coming ✊

Did you know that at the current pace, women in the EU will be the first to enjoy full #genderequality - in 61 years?! It is much worse in North America - if current trends continue, the gender gap is expected to persist for another 168 years! 🤯
This is an excerpt from our @eqt_toolkit, a gender equality toolkit, showing the statics about women at work. At Ellery majority of employees are female and it's one of our core values to give gender-equal opportunities. We couldn't be happier to have these powerful women as our driving forces!

In a city without a memorial for its dark past, how can we resurrect its untold stories? The exhibition Hammer & Tongs, hosted by the city of #Zurich and curated by @oncurating, addresses the causes and ramifications of witch-hunting and reveals the systematic subjugation and punishment of women in Zurich between 1487-1701.

To accompany this exhibition, we created a map of Zurich with @oncurating that takes this narrative to the streets - with new landmarks of #witchhunt and #feminism. This "counter memorial" voices the #alternativehistory that must be remembered, and provides a perspective in women’s standpoint today.

Hammer & Tongs is supported by Stadt Zürich Kultur, and produced in cooperation with @fsrzuerich and Pro Mahnmal.

This is how the EnVision project kicked off early last year - with a #gallerywalk! 🖼️ We used this active learning and discussion strategy, in which small groups of participants go through different stations of the "gallery" and exchange views over different topics. On kick-off day, experts from business, science, and civil society came together and discussed areas of tension and conflict in the #energytransition.

Project by acatech - German Academy of Science and Engineering together with the HUMBOLDT-VIADRINA Governance Platform. The project is funded by @EonEnergieDe.

#Energytransition? #Climateprotection? "Yes, please – but not in my yard." 🙅 Haven't we all heard this line before? In order to implement concrete measures towards energy transition, it's vital to share positive visions and the benefits and opportunities that come with them. 💡 The project “EnVision - Shaping a Vision for the Energy Transition” lays out areas of tension and value conflicts and develops proposals for political decision-makers to move towards a common vision. The final #digitalconference welcomed industry frontrunners to the panel. #linkinbio for more.
