What the IE Business Case Competition taught me about business and myself

Martha Zoller

In February, I flew to Madrid with three teammates and a lot of nervous energy. We were there to compete at the IE Business School Case Competition 2026, one of the most respected international case competitions in Europe, alongside universities from across the world. I came back with a lot more than I expected. I have been thinking about what exactly changed after that week and I keep coming back to the same answer: case competitions teach you things that no lecture, no group assignment, and no internship can fully replicate.

Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability – Progress or Problem?
Lucas Mayer-Klenk
Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world faster than ever, not only impacting how we work, but also the way we live. As one of the key drivers of digitalization and automation, AI shapes industries and societies worldwide. Yet, its effects on sustainability topics are often overlooked in the mainstream debate.
For FS Swimming, the World Inter University Championships (WIUC) marked the team’s first international appearance — an exciting opportunity to represent Frankfurt School on a global stage and compete alongside some of the world’s most talented student athletes.

Yannis Vourtos
What began as a small team has grown into a passionate group of students spread across nine departments: Human Resources, Marketing, Finance, Spring Run, Easter Donation, Spring Concert, Joblinge, LEO and Volunteering.
For a few weeks now, Frankfurt School has been offering its students new seating in the Creative Learning Lounge opposite the Deli. The 18 seating cubes each represent a UN sustainability goal, as well as current progress and urgency.

Studying AI in Australia: Research, Learning and the Wild

Julia Schoenthaler

When deciding where to spend my study abroad semester, the University of Melbourne quickly became my first choice. It had long been a dream destination for me because of its strong academic reputation and its focus on research-driven learning. Studying here offers the opportunity to apply methods I have learned during my master’s program in a new academic environment while also gaining exposure to world-class research.

Earlier in March, a group of ten dedicated students from Frankfurt School went on an exciting journey to St. Gallen, Switzerland, to participate in START Hack, Europe’s most entrepreneurial hackathon. The initiative was organized through FS Coding, the university’s student tech community, which recently launched GDG on Campus – supported by Google. This group aims to spark interest in software development, artificial intelligence, and digital innovation by org anizing tech events such as career talks, coding sessions, and FS’s very first own Hackathon.

The MHFA Training: Becoming a Certified Mental Health First Aider

Lea Maria Riebl

Many of us have struggled with their mental health at some point or know someone that did. But often times, we have no idea how to help in these situations. How should I talk to someone who is having a panic attack? Should I approach a friend that seems like exam stress is overwhelming them? And can I call an ambulance when someone is having a mental health emergency? These questions and more are answered during the 12-hour course, that equips you with foundational knowledge about different mental health topics.

HEC Business Game 2025: Working on Real World Business Challenges
Aaryamann Bhaskar
Earlier this month, I had the incredible opportunity to represent Frankfurt School of Finance & Management at the HEC Business Game 2025 held in Paris. Known as one of the most competitive and prestigious case competitions in Europe, the event brought together 150 talented students from 55 universities and 33 countries.
As Master of Finance students at Frankfurt School, we are naturally familiar with topics like valuation, financial modelling, and M&A dynamics from an academic perspective. However, applying these concepts in a high-pressure, fast-paced negotiation setting was an entirely different story.
