For this reason, the Faculty of Business, Economics and Society are cancelling all in class teaching.
The corona pandemic has turned university teaching and learning upside down and made face-to-face teaching difficult. The ALEX schnell-digital!-Award is therefore intended to honor particularly successful online teaching offerings. Laura Kirste won thereby in the category Best-of-schnell-digital! The WiSo congratulates!
For many students is the second semester they have spent studying during the pandemic, with virtually teaching being offered remotely. They often suffer from a lack of motivation when studying from home and there is a lack of structure in their day to day lives. In a study, researchers at WiSo have discovered that mentoring programmes can reduce these problems.
The winter term starts Monday, November 2, 2020, with a big digital welcome for all students. At the following virtual WiSo-info-fair, many of the service facilities, institutions, initiatives, and business partners will present themselves. Virtual campus tours, words of greetings, and a digital party organized by student initiatives brings the day to an good end.

Brickwork on the outside, digital on the inside. Zollhof in Nuremberg has been an ecosystem for digital startups and established companies since 2017. Startups set up by students also benefit.

The coronavirus pandemic created an entirely new set of challenges for university-level teaching. It required teaching staff to convert their lectures and seminars into digital form within a very short space of time and inform students of new procedures. A special study carried out by the Centre for Higher Education (CHE) shows that FAU overcame these challenges with great success.
