Even slow-growing companies can be very successful

More appreciation for the everyday nature of entrepreneurship

Rethinking entrepreneurship: In her keynote speech at Aalto University, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Friederike Welter emphasizes why entrepreneurship research should look beyond conventional models - for a more realistic and diverse understanding of entrepreneurship.

Research

"WE are strong in research, which can be seen, for example, in our third-party funding balance sheet but also in the ranking of our researchers. Our research is diverse and up-to-date. Our research ranges from DFG basic research to applied research (e.g. funded by the BMBF) and research transfer for practical application. Each researcher sets his or her own individual priorities. At the same time, however, there are two main areas of research: the effects and design of digitalization and sustainability. WE are an interdisciplinary faculty and therefore also promote interdisciplinary research. WE discover and promote academic talent. WE live the unity of research and teaching.

Our campus at the Lower Castle

By far the largest part of our faculty is located in the middle of the city on the "Unteres Schloss" campus. This campus includes a former castle, a brand new lecture hall building and several buildings in the vicinity of this castle. And right in the middle is the new canteen, also known as the "food court". This means that our everyday life takes place "in the middle of life" and enjoys a high quality of life."

WE teach and learn together

In addition to contemporary content and modern formats, teaching in our faculty is also characterized by a good supervision ratio. Compared to large universities, the medium-sized character of our university allows for close contact between lecturers and students. Here, people know and greet each other when they meet on campus. Students' individual concerns find the right contact person here, and even first-generation academics quickly feel at home in this environment. In teaching, we are increasingly using innovative and interactive concepts (cooperative and hybrid forms of teaching/learning, project orientation, workshops with and in companies, inverted classroom and much more) in addition to traditional formats such as lectures, tutorials and office hours.

We are digital

The digitalization of the economy and society is a key focus of our research. But life and work at the Faculty is also digitally shaped. Teaching formats are often digital or hybrid and have extensive digital content. The organization of studies and administrative processes are organized digitally in the interests of students, academics and administrative staff.
