Special features regarding research activities

In addition to the subject-specific research in the respective institutes, the inter-disciplinary research plays an important role. Thus, the Institute of Finance and the Institute of Insurance for example, together with colleagues from mathematics, are developing models to calculate the contagion effects on the financial markets. Research cooperation with partners from business and the public sector is also not neglected, as the project "Dietenheim attracts" funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg and the city of Dietenheim shows.

Support for founders

We currently offer a number of contents on innovation techniques that can be drawn upon for finding ideas for new products and services, as well as methods for procedural implementation/development of business models. Module "Entrepreneurship" and "Gründergarage" (start-up garage)(content: What is Entrepreneurship? What should be considered and what makes a successful business start-up? What are the difficulties and legal aspects?) and module "Instruments of Corporate Management"; Excursions to pitches, founders' competitions and conferences; Speeches by business founders.

Other special features

The location of the faculty in the "Science Park" means that there is a geographical proximity to research institutions in industry. Good network of the faculty with regional and national companies.

It serves as an information and communication platform for graduates and students of the Economics degree course. The student-run Börsenforum Ulm (e.V.)
