Welcome to the first re:publica x SRH Campus Berlin!
Together, the SRH University and re:publica have developed an innovative continuing education format that will premiere this year. From September 3–5, 2025, the first re:publica x SRH CAMPUS will take place in Berlin – featuring renowned experts from the re:publica stages and its community, didactically supported by SRH professors.
The program combines expert knowledge, innovative methodological skills, and inspiring networks in a unique setting. In small groups and various workshop units, the topics will be explored interactively and creatively, and then transferred into participants’ professional practice. This includes inspiring keynotes, expert talks and impulses, activating method trainings, and joint reflection and presentation sessions.
Tracks & Topics
Participants in re:publica x srh CAMPUS Berlin can choose from three topics and thus set their own personal focus for further training..
Track I (english)
Who Controls the Code: Ethics and Responsibility in AI
Artificial intelligence has long been part of our everyday lives – in apps, on platforms and in medicine. It can support us, but it can also control us. What happens when machines not only know what we do, but also how we think? And who actually decides what an AI is allowed to do – and what not?
This track is for anyone who wants to explore the fundamental questions of AI and ethics: What does it mean to develop technology responsibly? How can we ensure that AI does not discriminate or manipulate? Who owns our data – and how do we protect our thoughts?
We will talk about digital security as part of a living democracy. About the role of politics, tech companies and society. And about why we need diverse perspectives to shape fair technologies for everyone. An invitation to have a say, to think – and not to leave everything to AI.

Track II (german)
Thinking about the future together: Co-creation & open innovation
The future is not something that just happens – it is what we make of it. The focus topic “Co-Creation & Open Innovation” is about thinking collectively rather than individually: using methods such as scenario development, strategic foresight, and radical collaboration. Because only with diverse perspectives can we question patterns of thinking and open up new possibilities.
We look at cultural change in organizations: How can an open mindset be created? What structures do we need to not only enable innovation, but to live it together?
Storytelling and prototyping also play a central role here – as a means of making the future tangible, developing arguments for change, and bringing collective imagination to life.
Whether through creative tools from strategic and systemic design, life-centered processes, or holistic visions: this is about futures that we actively and sustainably shape—instead of just chasing after them.

Track III (german)
Remaining capable of acting in a polycrisis: resilience & crisis competence
Crises challenge us—individually, socially, globally. But they also offer opportunities for new forms of cooperation, shared knowledge, and solidarity-based solutions. This thematic focus is on strategies for resilience: emotional, digital, social.
What does it mean to be crisis-competent in a world of climate anxiety, skill gaps, demographic change, and constant digital bombardment? We look at re-skilling and up-skilling for a sustainable working world, intergenerational learning processes, and the respectful exchange of experiences.
Mental health is also a key focus: how can we promote mental strength – with mindfulness, digital tools, and new dialogues about what really moves us?
Whether it’s climate conflicts, self-esteem on social media, or community resilience strategies, this track invites us to seek answers together—especially through writing as an effective tool for strengthening resilience and crisis competence—and to remain capable of action in times of ongoing crisis.

Methods & Principles
From problem space to solution space, you will experience a short strategic design thinking journey in interdisciplinary teams.
In an iterative, life-centered, and strategic manner, we will walk through a divergent and convergent thinking model, also known as the “double diamond,” over the course of two days. You will learn a range of valuable tools and principles from the fields of research, synthesis, ideation, prototyping, testing, and implementation.
Day 1 – Exploring the Problem Space
Building on expert impulses from re:publica and SRH Academia, the content will be reflected upon to jointly derive a key topic for each track. These challenges will be further explored using research tools such as cross-interviews, a writing workshop, and GenAI.
The goal of the first day is to systemically define potential opportunity areas that will serve as a starting point for the creative phase on Day 2.
Day 2 – Exploring the Solution Space
A more hands-on impulse kicks off a creative day where the opportunity areas are put into practice. Using ideation and prototyping principles, initial concepts and future strategies will take shape. A selection will be presented on stage and reflected upon across all tracks.
The goal of the second day is to transfer expert content into your professional context.
By working in dynamic teams in close collaboration with experts and exchanging ideas across tracks, you’ll gain insight into the widely used language of innovation.
Let’s make the world a better place – with forward-thinking expertise and an innovative mindset!
