On 11 December 2025, Alina Hank and Alicia Janica Moss presented the project to business education students at Leipzig University in an online event as part of the seminar "Theory and Practice of Company Instruction Processes". The focus was on the specific design of the serious game and the underlying didactic principles.

From 8 to 10 December 2025, the project team came together for an in-person workshop at game developer SGS. The focus was on face-to-face dialogue, as the collaboration otherwise mainly takes place in regular online formats.

The current development status of the game was analysed together and the next steps agreed. Another focus was on the learning modules, which were jointly analysed and further developed.

At the Transfer Centre for Artificial Intelligence - BREMEN.AI in the Digital Hub Industry, Dr Eva Unruh and Alicia Janica Moss presented the NaTuL project as part of the lecture event "Digital Logistics - Innovation | AI | Sustainability" on 18 November 2025.

Building on the online event in April, the two presented the current state of development of the AI-supported serious game. Our project "Sustainability in the transport and logistics industry" was an excellent addition to the series of presentations. The participants provided valuable feedback that will be incorporated into the further development of the project.

As part of the "RZ.NORDBEAT - Der Norden macht Zukunft" theme week, the project team held a one-hour seminar on 7 October 2025, which was attended by representatives from schools and companies. During the event, the project and the current status of the needs analysis were presented. The concluding discussion was used to gather further ideas and perspectives from the field.

On 1 September, Alina Hank and Alicia Janica Moss took part in the 6th BHV Sustainability Dialogue. The event focussed on the key question: "How can sustainability be promoted despite increasing resistance?"

The NaTuL project was presented as part of a panel discussion. In this open format, questions were answered about the objectives and content of the project, the challenges of designing teaching and learning processes around sustainability topics, possible co-operations with companies and the next steps in the project.

Dr Eva Unruh, Alina Hank, Alicia Janica Moss, Philipp Klein and Jennifer Rengers presented the NaTuL project as part of an online presentation at the regional group meeting of the German Logistics Association (BVL). The event focussed in particular on the question "What do apprentices in the transport and logistics industry really need to learn in order to act sustainably?" This question and the subsequent insights into the development of the game by Serious Games Solutions stimulated a productive exchange with the participating company representatives. Practically relevant topics of sustainable logistics were identified and appropriate implementation in the game and in the training course was discussed.

On 28 March 2025, Alina Hank and Alicia Janica Moss took part in the Adult Education Round Table and gave an insight into the NaTuL project. The round table regularly brings together further education providers from the region to discuss current developments and challenges in the field of adult education.

For NaTuL, the event provided a valuable opportunity to make new contacts and identify potential points of contact for future cooperation.

The 23rd University Days for Academic Appointments took place in Paderborn from 17 - 19 March 2025. NaTuL took part in the "Market of Opportunities". There, the project team gave an insight into the innovative development of the AI-supported serious game and the course on sustainability in the transport and logistics industry in line with the conference topics of sustainability, digitality and equal opportunities. The exhibition of the project proposal provided a good basis for discussion and led to a lively exchange with interested visitors to the University Days.

The kick-off workshop for the InnoVET PLUS programme organised by BIBB took place in Bonn on 11 and 12 February 2025. Under the motto "Shaping collaboration, thinking about transfer from the outset", InnoVET PLUS project participants from all over Germany came together to lay the foundations for successful collaboration.

After getting to know each other interactively, the participants were divided into thematic cluster groups. The aim of the groups was to identify support needs and develop initial ideas for future cooperation between the end of projects and BIBB. The second workshop day was characterised by two workshops on the topics of "Transfer" and "Attractiveness". The workshops deepened the previous findings on the topics and emphasised how crucial transfer is within the project duration - but also beyond.

The event was characterised by a constructive exchange and many new impulses that we will take with us into our daily project work.

The InnoVET PLUS projects were officially launched at the InnoVET conference in Berlin on 6 November 2024. After an interesting exchange with the first-generation InnoVET projects, the NaTuL project was officially launched together with 27 other projects at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the afternoon. At the subsequent networking event on 7 November, the InnoVET PLUS projects were divided into different thematic clusters to facilitate the search for commonalities between the various projects. The exchange in the topic clusters "Digital learning - utilising AI opportunities" and "Creating the energy transition" resulted in great added value for NaTuL.

The time had come at the end of October: the joint project kicked off with great anticipation with a personal kick-off meeting between the network partners from 23 to 25 October 2024 in Oldenburg. The kick-off was a relaxed get-together on the evening of 23 October - an informal dinner provided an ideal setting to get to know each other and hold initial discussions. On the following days, the focus was on intensive dialogue. Serious Games Solutions provided exciting insights into the company's existing game concepts. The first rough project milestones were defined and the roadmap for the coming months was discussed in a constructive round.

In addition, numerous ideas were collected in an open brainstorming session and various aspects of the planned game were discussed. From game mechanics and storytelling to design and target group appeal.

All in all, it was a successful start that laid the foundations for a successful and inspiring collaboration.

The joint project "NaTuL - Sustainability in the transport and logistics industry" was launched in October 2024. Together with the Chair of Sustainability and Supply Chain Management (SSCM), the Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L) and the game developer Serious Games Solutions from Berlin, the Department of Vocational and Business Education (BWP) at the University of Oldenburg will be carrying out the project from 2024 to 2027 as part of the InnoVET PLUS funding line from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Together with 27 other projects, NaTuL is part of the InnoVET PLUS funding line, which is a central measure of the Excellence Initiative Vocational Education and Training of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) aims to further develop vocational education and training with the help of innovative concepts. NaTuL is aimed at a new generation of skilled workers who drive forward sustainable practices in transport logistics through innovative ideas. The project thus makes a significant contribution to the attractiveness and quality of academic appointments.
