The aim of the research project CopML - Copulas in Machine Learning - is to further link copulas and machine learning methods. On the one hand, the potential applications of copulas in machine learning will be investigated. One example of this is research into possible applications in image or speech processing. On the other hand, methods of machine learning are to be explored that enable the modeling of copulas themselves.

The project "Successful failure - improving error culture and error competence" teaches working people in four-hour workshops how they can improve their own error culture and competence. This is relevant against the backdrop of ongoing transformation processes such as digitalization, as mistakes and errors are not only unavoidable in these dynamic times, but are also necessary for the development of people and organizations.

In this pan-European Horizon project, we ensure a Europe-wide information base on sustainability and biodiversity of viticulture with a focus on new, robust grape varieties through coordination within the project groups with external stakeholders and independent analyses.

The project aims to research how the inclusion of people with disabilities in employment can be promoted beyond existing instruments and, if necessary, new paths can be taken. One example is projects that approach companies directly and use various offers to ensure that companies increase their inclusion skills and create more opportunities for inclusive employment (see Innoklusio, for example) (see Dialogue Social Enterprise GmbH, 2023).

Exploding glass costs and unforeseen resource bottlenecks in connection with socially demanded sustainability and the EU targets for reusable packaging have motivated the research project, in which creative reusable packaging considerations in wine are put into practice and tested in concerted and cross-value-added experiments.

The general aim of the monitoring concept is to continuously observe the developments in the key topic areas
of mobile work and to analyze their impact on occupational health and
safety. The four specific topic areas from
the "Mobile Work Policy Workshop" are to be given special consideration in order to ensure a holistic
view.

Procedures and instruments to be successful do not have to be reinvented. The Institute for Management and Innovation (IMI) is researching and analyzing "best practices" of sustainable innovation management as part of a study funded by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy and Mobility. This study focuses on ecological sustainability. Examples of new products, services and business models that take into account the circular economy, achieving net zero, sustainable value chains and similar goals are documented.

In a research cooperation, the Weincampus Neustadt evaluates strategic sustainability solutions and their communicative implementation with more than 30 practice partners. The aim of the project is to develop a holistic sustainability concept for the wine industry in Baden-Württemberg.

The project evaluates practice-based digital ("smart data") solutions in order to identify and test optimization potentials for the urgently needed increase in economic efficiency and sustainability of logistics in the wine industry - from simulation models to virtual wineries.

Practice partner is the medium-sized bakery company Bäcker Görtz GmbH, Ludwigshafen am Rhein

The project serves to prepare an EU application with research questions on the topic of sustainability reporting by SMEs in the European Union Conclusions are to be drawn on the sustainability performance of companies (transparency versus greenwashing) through statistical analyses of sustainability reports. The presence (or absence) of a correlation between the quality of sustainability reporting and the non-financial, but also financial performance targets
of the companies is also to be examined.

The project part evaluates strategic aspects in the cultivation and marketing of new grape varieties. For this purpose, the operational arguments and sustainability effects along the entire value chain from the breeder to the production companies to the distribution channels are examined using different survey methods.
