Digital social networking is harder than we think, maybe not technologically, but certainly socially. FS Charity is committed to raising awareness on important social issues among students.

FS Fashion Business: Getting a glimpse into the fashion industry
Niharinth Selva
Fashion is a crucial value-creating industry for the global economy. If the global fashion sector were placed alongside individual countries' GDP, it would be the world's seventh-largest economy.

Breaking the bias: Women in Business and Tech at FS

Zeena Jaber

How much impact can an individual have? How much change can a group of women make in this world? I used to think that you can’t do much despite doing your best and having your best intentions in mind. My mindset has changed, however. I now believe that to so much as have one person question the way they think and re-evaluate their bias is incredible.

FS Women in Business – a platform to connect, network, learn, and grow

Mona Jasmin Baumann

Like many of you, I had already informed myself before my first semester what student initiatives FS has to offer, and one clearly caught my eye: Women in Business.

The RCEP trade agreement – one year later
Gabriele di Russo
In November 2020, representatives from 15 Asian countries signed a historic free trade agreement that aimed at reshaping the scope and extension of international trade globally, as well as creating stronger trade links between Asian countries and enlarging the size of entire economies, especially their GDP.  How well is it working one year later?

Blockchain Challenge 2021 – from valuable experiences to future-oriented technologies

Felix Novotny

Since 2017, the University of Basel has been hosting an annual challenge where students are once again “lured” out of the lecture halls, or even by the pending COVID-19 chaos, from their desks at home and can prove their technical, business development and presentation skills. For this year, a remote only event has been created for the first time.

Katharina Porenta
Before this challenge, I had never actually considered starting my own business. I am, however, very excited and grateful to have been given the opportunity to go through this process and also to apply a lot of the skills we have acquired at FS so far.
Looking at demographic changes, climate change and social inequalities are constantly placing new, unmet demands on housing and social infrastructure.
