To obtain her degree in business administration, Dorothee Schoser carried out in 2009 a project work on the strengths and weaknesses of the Hessian region Gießener Land. The project team interviewed about 150 citizens about their perception of the region and noted that the environment, schools and kindergartens are considered its most important assets.The regional development agency welcomed the students' findings and planned to use them to shape their future policy. Apart from obtaining their degree, the project team received as thank you gift from the agency a canoe ride on the Lahn river to discover the region from a very special angle.
