Today's Ideas. Tomorrow's Impact.
The WiSo Faculty was founded in 1901 as a School of Commerce and has since expanded its scope to Economics and Social Sciences. We have over a century of experience in the education of new generations of business professionals, economists, sociologists and political experts. Our research has contributed to the advancement of theory and practice.
During this time, we have developed a tradition of close dialogue with our stakeholders and a focus on scientific research that is relevant to the corporate world, to economic policy and to society at large.
