The LebensPhasenHaus connects. Locally and internationally. It is a place for research and teaching, demonstration and knowledge transfer.It is run by the Steinbeis Transfer Center for Social and Technological Innovation at the University of Tübingen – and supported by strong partners from business and politics, science and society. This is because innovations arise in systems and in the trusting cooperation between many different contributors. In addition to the University of Tübingen and its University Hospital, the LebensPhasenHaus has been strongly supported from the outset by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration Baden-Württemberg, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Housing Baden Württemberg, the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts Baden-Württemberg, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Reutlingen I Tübingen I Zollernalb, SchwörerHaus, Stadtwerke Tübingen (swt), Somfy, Ridi, the Association for Garden, Landscape and Sports Field Construction Baden-Württemberg and other companies.
In addition, the Seniors District Council Tübingen is actively involved in the running of the LPH together with its Senior Technology Advisors. Each Friday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. they open the house to the general public. Everyone is welcome. In 2016, the LebensPhasenHaus was awarded the prestigious German Senior Citizens’ Award by the Robert Bosch Foundation for its unique concept and of civic involvement. The House is also internationally known, for example within the framework of Coral (Community of Regions for Assisted Living) or the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), and as part of an award that the state of Baden Württemberg received from the European Commission: as a so-called "EU Reference Site" of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP AHA).
