Terms coming to an end, and the UK group of the Foundation of German Business is looking back on a successful year 2010 / 2011 which comprised of many interesting encounters. The group met in London, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Oxford for a variety of interesting seminars, organised by fellows of the group, covering many different topics: Islam in the UK, the Financial Crisis, and Gentrification. Some impressions can be found in the section: EVENTS. We wish all students a nice summer and we look forward to seeing you again in the next term in 2011 / 2012.
All the best for 2011 – upcoming seminars and events
Dear Visitors,
we all wish you all the best for the upcoming year 2011. May it be as successful and exciting as the last one.
During the yearly Kickoff – Meeting in London all the members of the SDW UK group gathered in October 2010 at the London School of Economics to plan the upcoming year’s events. In five regional sub-groups students groups individually discussed possible topics of interest and later presented their suggestions to the whole group. The most popular events got chosen by vote. Present to this kickoff event also were the SDW UK group’s tutor, Dr Tom Kirchmaier (LSE), our manager Ms. Jana Hecker (JP Morgan) and visiting from Berlin, our advisor Ms. Luise Heidenreich (sdw).
Here is an overview to the events chosen:
