Sustainability and Ecological Awareness
Module 1
Due to organizational reasons, we sadly cannot offer module 1 in 2020. It certainly will be considered in 2021.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Module 2
June 22 - June 26, 2020
The focus of this course is to supply students with a deep understanding of the theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship and practical tools to create ideas and start their own business. Light is also shed on competitive positioning and advantage, and strategic dimensions of recent developments in the market such as digitalization (e.g., artificial intelligence, big data) and their implications for new ventures and business models. Students will have the chance to understand and train these tools and topics while developing and presenting their own business idea in a team. Company visits to start-ups complement the lectures.
