📋 Tender Overview
October 24, 2025
Digital Minister Dr. Fabian Mehring today presented the Bavarian Administrative School (BVS) in Munich with a grant amounting to 127,166 euros. With the funding, the Bavarian State Ministry for Digital supports the operation of the Digital Learning Lab (DLL) and at the same time strengthens the Bavarian Digital Academy, the public administrations further training center for digitalization.
With the Digital Learning Lab, we are making Bavarias administration fit for the digital future. Modern learning technologies such as virtual reality, AI tutors and interactive webinars bring digital transformation directly into the training and further education of our employees, emphasized Digital Minister Dr. Fabian Mehring at the handover. We are investing in the people who shape Bavarias administration - and ensuring that they can make optimal use of the opportunities offered by digitalization.
The funding particularly strengthens municipal sustainability: The Bavarian Digital Academy accompanies cities, municipalities and districts on their way to modern administration. It imparts practical digital skills - from online services and smart administrative control to agile forms of work - and thus ensures that digital innovations arrive locally.
The Digital Learning Lab (DLL) is the innovation workshop of the Bavarian Digital Academy. Immersive learning technologies with VR glasses are tested here, AI-supported training scenarios are developed and hybrid teaching formats are tested. Lecturers, participants and partners are working together on the future of digital education - from presentation training in virtual environments to conversation simulations with AI-controlled avatars, for example for public discussions.
The funds provided by the Ministry of Digital will be used to finance two new positions that will ensure the operation and further development of the DLL: A digital coordinator drives the strategic and conceptual development of digital learning formats, while a digital lab specialist takes over operational operations, the technical infrastructure and the support of teachers and learners.
The Bavarian Administrative School (BVS) has been the central educational service provider for the public service in Bavaria for over 100 years. Around 35,000 employees take part in the training seminars every year. With the Digital Learning Lab and the Bavarian Digital Academy, the BVS is now opening a new chapter in digital education - practical, innovative and future-oriented.
