Impulses for the HSG

26 November 2014. The HSG Advisory Board is elected by the University’s Board of Governors; its members – personalities from trade and industry and academia – strengthen the University’s competencies with their diverse professional and private backgrounds in a dialogue with private industry, the public sector and non-government organisations. In addition, the HSG Advisory Board supports the University in tapping extramural sources of knowledge, thus exerting a substantial impact on the University’s further development.

Sharing experience

The Advisory Board members work in a wide variety of sectors ranging from trade and industry to real estate, banking and insurance to education and research. These professional competencies, coupled with national and international roots, enrich the University as a whole.

Thus the Advisory Board has provided essential impulses to the successful further development of the HSG in the past: the introduction of English-language Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes, the expansion of international representations (HSG Hubs), the concerted promotion of entrepreneurship and a honing of HSG research profiles can all be traced back to the commitment of HSG Advisory Board members. Together with the University’s representatives, the honorary Advisory Board members face the challenges of an international and regionally rooted business university in the 21st century.
