Engineering concepts – Why language matters

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Köhler

Current political discourse teems with discussions about language. People get hot-headed about gender-neutral language, street names, what one is “still allowed to say,” and the limits of political correctness. Recently, the German state of Bavaria’s conservative government even went so far as to ban outright gender-neutral spellings in all legal and administrative state regulation, the justification being that such spellings would make official regulations harder to understand.

It’s not just Charity - how Transfers enhance Cooperation on Climate Action
Dr. Karol Kempa
As the world grapples with intensifying climate risks, one critical question remains unanswered: how can we fairly and effectively share the global burden of reducing greenhouse gas emissions?
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have made their way into every aspect of our work life. By showing an incredible ability to identify complex data patterns, AI bears the promise of simplifying and improving daily business operations and has multiple implications in finance. So, what can we expect in the field of sustainable finance?

As we rapidly approach the critical 1.5°C target set in the 2015 Paris Agreement, the urgency to address climate change and its multifaceted impacts cannot be overstated. Rising temperatures, sea level increases, biodiversity loss, and pervasive pollution of air, water, and soil continue to challenge the global community.
There's something magical about early-stage startups that reminds me of the Flammarion engraving. I’ll tell a short tale of just one such project: Ceres FieldCheck – to answer a single question: how & when does an idea turn into a startup?

Risk and Reward: Transforming SME Financing in Iraq

Callum Lee

A country steeped in rich history of ancient civilisations and breathtaking natural landscapes, Iraq’s beauty contrasts starkly with the challenges it faces today. Iraq has endured years of conflict and political instability which has severely impacted economic activity, no less for its crucial SME sector.Access to finance remains a significant hurdle for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Iraq. Despite being the backbone of the economy, contributing significantly to employment rates and GDP, SMEs face substantial barriers to obtaining the financial resources they need to grow and sustain their operations.

Cooperation Company Project: A Journey Through Retail Location Analysis
Rhushikesh Bhosale
In the fast-evolving domain of retail, the adage "location, locality, area" has never lost its significance. However, determining the optimal spot for a new retail outlet involves a complex interplay of data analysis, artificial intelligence, and a deep understanding of urban geography.
Embarking on a Master's in Applied Data Science at Frankfurt School has been a transformative journey, intertwining rigorous academic work with real-world professional experience. It has been a journey of growth, learning and self-discovery. It’s a challenging yet rewarding path that has taught me the importance of resilience, time management and strategic planning.

Beyond adaptation: Addressing loss and damage in the face of climate change
Khayala Sadikhova
"Loss and Damage" refers to the adverse impacts of climate change that surpass the ability of countries and communities to adapt or that occur despite adaptation efforts. It has gained prominence in the climate change debate because it is becoming increasingly clear that mitigation and adaptation alone will not be enough to address the impacts of climate change.
Mit der Weiterentwicklung von transformativen Technologien verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen digital und analog immer mehr. Auch immersive Erlebnisse nehmen durch das wachsende Interesse am „Metaverse“ stetig zu - nicht nur für Spiel und Spaß, sondern auch für die Zusammenarbeit in Gruppen und Teams.
