Dear WiSo students,

The WiSo merchandise shop is now online: https://wiso-shop.de/ 

You can order high-quality hoodies, sweatshirts and T-shirts with the WiSo emblem embroidered on them. The sustainability of the products is very important to us. That's why most of the textiles are made from organic cotton and/or recycled polyester. Embroidery is also not carried out on stock, but only when the order is placed*. We work together with our experienced university partner UNICUM. The plan is to continuously expand the product range.

To mark the launch of the shop, we are pleased to offer all current students a discount code of 16 euros. This means that hoodies and sweatshirts can be ordered for less than 30 euros, T-shirts and the hip bag for less than 10 euros (including shipping).

*Please note that due to the ad-hoc production there may be slightly longer delivery times at the start of the shop. Further information can be found on the website.

Lecture by Flossbach von Storch on innovation and competition in the German automotive industry

Are you interested in learning more about competition in the German automotive industry? Then our event with Flossbach von Storch is just right for you. While Chinese car manufacturers are pushing into the European market with their relatively cheap electric cars, the question arises as to whether competition should be restricted. The lecture will discuss why state intervention is not the right solution and that this has also been shown historically. Flosbach von Storch will take you through the early years of automotive history, as well as the 1920s and 1970s. The lecture will take place on 27th June 2024 at 5.00 p.m. in room 0.224,  Please register in advance via the following link: https://kbv.typeform.com/flossbach

Please note that this lecture will be held in German.
