New life, new friends, new city: To ensure that first-year students at WiSo Nuremberg quickly feel at home, there will once again be a big freshers' welcome on October 17, 2022. The welcome, including an information fair, will take place in the morning. In the afternoon, the WiSo courtyard will offer a beer garden feeling and guided tours of the city.

FAU President Prof. Joachim Hornegger met FAU students from Iran to discuss the current situation in their home country and to learn more about how they are personally affected by it. FAU is a platform of freedom on which people can make their visions a reality. It stands for peaceful and free community for everyone, everywhere.

The joint research project “The Impact of Surface and Deep-Level Attributes on Peer Evaluations in Global Virtual Teams” by Theresa Bernhard, Teaching and Research Associate at the Department of International Management at FAU WiSo, and her co-authors Ernesto Tavoletti (University of Macerata, Italy), Longzhu Dong (University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire), Vas Taras (University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA) won the Best Paper Award in the category “Teaching and Education in International Business” at the Academy of International Business Conference in Miami, USA (6-9 July 2022).

Professor Dr. Dirk Holtbrügge, Dean of International Affairs, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on research and teaching with Universitas Indonesia (UI), Jakarta, Indonesia. The agreement allows students of both institutions to study at the partner university for one or two semesters.

After more than two years of Corona break, the student café the "Trichter" invites you again to its legendary summer party. On August 17 from 5 to 10 p.m., the inner courtyard of Findelgasse 7/9 at FAU WiSo will once again be filled with life.

All students must re-register twice a year for the next semester in order to continue studying at FAU. This is done by transferring the semester fee. It is essential that the money is transferred to the university within the re-registration deadlines, otherwise there is a risk of exmatriculation. For the upcoming winter semester, all students must re-register from July 1 to July 8, 2022 and transfer the semester fee for this purpose.

On July 16, 2022, the Student Summer Party, hosted by the initiatives at the School of Business, Economics & Society (WiSo), will take place in the WiSo courtyard, Lange Gasse 20. Guests can look forward to delicious food and drinks as well as good music. There will also be all kinds of activities at the initiatives' booths.

Until Monday, July 4 2022, 9 a.m., university elections will be held at FAU. Representatives will be elected to the Senate, the five Faculty Councils, the Appeals Council for the Department of Theology, and the Student Convention of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. They form the basis of academic self-government.

If you want to apply for a study abroad program at WiSo, you need to have the appropriate language certificates. On Thursday, June 23, there will be an information event at 2:00 p.m. in the Team-Bank lecture hall (H5) at Lange Gasse 20 in Nuremberg. At the same time, those interested can also take part online via Zoom.
