💡 Background

MCube Consulting is part of the MCube Network – Munich Cluster for the Future of Mobility in Metropolitan Regions.

We support public institutions and industry partners in bringing mobility and smart-city innovations into real-world implementation. Our work combines:

• Scientific research
• Applied consulting
• Digital product development

Project Context

Cities face increasing challenges in coordinating public events (festivals, markets, cultural events, etc.).

Current processes are often:

• Manual
• Paper-based
• Slow & non-transparent

Together with partners from research and public administration, MCube Consulting is developing a data-driven, digital event-management prototype:

→ to simplify coordination

→ improve transparency

→ reduce administrative workload

→ integrate geospatial + process data for better decision support.

This IDP allows students to help design and prototype these tools in a real innovation environment.

As part of the project team, you may:

• Develop and test prototype components (backend workflows, web forms, etc.)
• Build or integrate map-based visualizations and geospatial data layers
• Design or improve user interfaces for applicants and administration staff
• Analyze event-related data flows and evaluate usability
• (Optional) Explore AI-based validation (e.g., matching similar historical events)

You will work iteratively, and your contributions will influence the real prototype direction.
