Dear students,

we would like to invite you to a company presentation of our Social Partner CARE on May 15th, 2018!

Please note that this event is held in German language.

Unter dem Motto „Vom CARE-Paket zur nachhaltigen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit“ stellt sich die entwicklungspolitische Nichtregierungsorganisation CARE vor und informiert über Karrierewege in die internationale Entwicklungszuammenarbeit.

Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit steht bei CARE heute die globale Armutsminderung. Doch Armut bleibt unüberwindbar, solange Menschenleben akut gefährdet sind. In Kriegs- und Katastrophengebieten leistet CARE deshalb schnelle und wirksame Hilfe mit Nahrung, Kleidung und Notunterkünften, beugt mit sauberem Trinkwasser und Medikamenten dem Ausbruch von Seuchen vor. Denen, die alles verloren haben, erleichtert CARE durch Wiederaufbauprogramme den Neuanfang.  

After the event you will have the opportunity to pose further questions in our get-together.

We look forward to seeing you!

Die Managementberatung des Volkswagen Konzerns ist in zukunftsweisende Schlüsselthemen involviert und berät Kunden entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette. Neben dem Anspruch die erste Wahl für das Volkswagen Management in puncto Strategieberatung zu sein, ist Volkswagen Consulting zudem eine Management-Nachwuchsschmiede für den Konzern. Berater werden zu Top-Talenten entwickelt, die anschließend Schlüsselpositionen im Konzern besetzen können.

Gemeinsam mit der Volkswagen Group South Africa wurde für Kenia eine Markteintrittsstrategie definiert und für Ruanda ein integriertes Mobilitätskonzept entwickelt.

Each term, the International Relations Center at the WiSo Faculty (ZIB WiSo) and the PIM and CEMS Student and Alumni Club Cologne e.V. organise a Buddy Programme for guest students from the WiSo Faculty's partner universities. At the beginning of each term, ZIB WiSo looks for students and doctoral candidates interested in mentoring guest students for that term.

Benefits of the Buddy Programme

• Meet students from all over the world
• Participate in the "Welcome Days"
• Participate in a number of exciting, international social events
• Develop your language skills
• Demonstrate social commitment during your studies
• Receive first-hand information about partner universities as optimal preparation for an exchange term

Responsibilities of a buddy

• Contacting the guest student's landlord prior to their arrival (if requested to do so by the student)
• Collecting the keys to the flat or organising the hand-over of keys
• Collecting the guest student from the station/airport (Cologne/Bonn) and seeing them to their accommodation
• Providing support in dealing with public authorities (registration office, etc.)
• Where necessary, supporting guest students in other areas at the beginning of their stay

Additional involvement is entirely up to you.

Buddies are assigned on a 'first-come, first-served' basis: the earlier you register, the more likely we can take your preferences into consideration.

Upon request, we will be happy to issue a letter of acknowledgement covering your support, which may turn out to be useful as proof of social commitment for future job applications.

Thank you for being a real 'buddy'!

Ob TTIP, CETA oder die protektionistischen Ambitionen von Donald Trump: Der Streit über die Ordnung des globalen Handels ist in vollem Gange - nicht nur unter Ökonominnen und Ökonomen. Das ist gut so, denn für uns ist klar: Bei internationalem Handel geht es nicht nur um Effizienz und Verteilungsfragen. Er hat soziale Auswirkungen, ökologische und kulturelle.
