Alisia Gahabka

Especially when starting your semester at FS and it is your first university experience, everything will be quite overwhelming: a new city, new classmates, new courses and a new structure. To give you some guidance on how to get started, I’m sharing my 5 biggest learnings with you after three years of studying in the Bachelor’s programme at FS.

How to build an authentic network in a post-pandemic era – Viva la Vida at FS
Francesca Paganelli
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. For an event on the 4th of November, Xiaoning Lyu was invited to share her insights on how she used art to help people to connect and how she started her ventures.
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. FS Fashion Business is the brainchild of our students who want to tap into this industry's wealth of knowledge.

Connecting Theory to Reality – My experience at HEC Business Game
Tushar Madan
HEC Paris organises the HEC Business Game, where they select 100 participants from all over the globe to solve real-life business cases. This year the theme was sustainability and innovation. In addition to the business games, the event also included networking dinners, presentations from partner companies and a tour of the HEC Campus.
The event, hosted and organised by RSM students, brought together more than 60 students from all over the world. The seven-day programme included not only the case-solving but also networking opportunities, dinners, social events, as well as interesting speaker events and company presentations of the case partners.

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. Without further ado, I took part in the kick-off event and signed up for the list of participants without knowing how much enrichment and fun this would bring me.

How blockchain technology can change politics
Cedric Heidt
In recent years, our western democracy has been facing many challenges. Some have suggested clever integration of blockchain technology could solve some of these issues, while others warn that such applications will undoubtedly lead to disaster.
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?

Aus der Corona-Krise in eine neue Dimension der Luftfahrt
Lisa Allgaier
„Ausruhen geht nicht, Ausruhen ist Rückschritt. Wir müssen immer am Ball bleiben, Ideen erarbeiten und auf Innovationen früh genug aufspringen” Ein Zitat von Stefan Schulte, CEO der Fraport AG, der im Rahmen der studentischen Initiative FS Economy & Politics die Frankfurt School besuchte.
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.

Harshita Goyal

Even though it will be a while until we know who forms the ruling parties in the 20th German Parliament “Bundestag”, the preliminary results of the recent Federal Election indicate some valuable insights into what is next in store for German politics.

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.

Impact Investing meets Real Estate – NEXT Generation Invest GmbH speaking at FS
Cara Reuner
Looking at demographic changes, climate change and social inequalities are constantly placing new, unmet demands on housing and social infrastructure. Addressing affordability and adequacy as well as social inclusivity and environmental sustainability in the context of urbanism is central to an impact-oriented real estate investment strategy.
The western nations have for a while now signalled that they intend to make the Middle East less of a priority to their foreign policy agenda. But what exactly does this shift mean for the West’s support of weak or failed states especially after the dismal results of state-building in Afghanistan?
