Topic: International aspects of entrepreneurship IV – Sustainable Growth Strategies for
the Food and Beverage Industries
>>> Brief Program-Overview
After the good experiences of our four previous summer schools we invite students and lecturers of our partner-universities in Europe and overseas again and for the fifth time to come to Erfurt in late summer..
Our lecturers and students want to discuss with the participants international aspects of entrepreneurship with regard to sustainable growth strategies for the food and beverage industries. The two-week program also gives enough time for discussions and reflections and preparations for the group presentations on the given task
In the mornings we intend to offer sessions of lectures, case studies and workshops presented by our university lecturers and business partners in Erfurt. Topics are e.g. entrepreneurship-basics, regional economics and markets for young companies in the food and beverage sector in Thuringia, Germany, Europe and overseas, legal aspects and accounting/taxation of entrepreneurship, cultural varieties in drinking norms and eating, e-procurement etc.
Also our international partners will present their view on the topic in lectures and presentations. So during summer school 2009 we are keen to listen to 8 international lecturers from 7 universities in 6 countries.
For the afternoons and evenings there will be additional guided tours to the famous old town of Erfurt, other departments of our University like conservation & restoration or horticulture, the chance to visit various companies (e.g. the sweats and nougat producers VIBA “www.viba-sweets.de” and Grabower Süßer Wolf “www.grabower.com” our local tied house Waldkasino inErfurt www.waldkasino.de, (small Thuringian beer brewery).Later we will visit the logistics and service center for beverages Waldhoff www.waldhoff.de and for food Rewe logistic center.
