Research and cooperation opportunities with the MCI

The Entrepreneurial School® operates over and beyond the traditional activities of a university and defines itself as a dynamic international center for diverse partners and stakeholders from the worlds of science, business, and society.

Research & Transfer Centers

Our research centers create, bundle, developed and provide competence and know-how to industry and society. The common goal is to intensify the transfer of knowledge and technology between universities and business. In addition, we generate sustainable, social, and economic output to strengthen the competitiveness of the region.

Due to the continuous and direct exchange with business and industry, the research and transfer centers not only present research-relevant but also solution-driven and application-oriented results. Our top priority is to make the gained knowledge available to society and economy. The centers are integrated into the research areas.

Tailored programs for companies

Our tailored programs for further education, training, and coaching accompany companies and non-profit organizations in the acquisition, further development and solution-oriented implementation of know-how in their organization.

Tailored company programs are jointly coordinated with the needs of the respective organization and form an effective basis for strategy, organization, and personnel development as well as the development of solutions for operational problems.

Community Service

At MCI, we support and encourage our students' sense of social responsibility and voluntary commitment. As a long-standing signatory of UN PRME and co-founder of the PRME Chapter DACH, it is particularly important to us to prepare students for their professional lives as responsible managers and specialists with a pronounced understanding of values and a solid ethical basis.

We offer a range of opportunities to get involved with the community, which students can participate in both as part of their regular studies and through extracurricular activities.

Entrepreneurship

The promotion of creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and start-ups is part of the declared philosophy of the Entrepreneurial School®.

This is reflected in start-up-related courses (e.g. creativity techniques, project management, business planning) hands-on projects and case studies, innovative research and development and more.

Idea competitions, start-up days, “hackatons” as well as know-how, networks, or start-up financing provide further building blocks for promoting start-ups and entrepreneurship with high prospects of success.

The different Career Packages can be complemented with modules from other areas (e.g. guest lectures, employer branding, sponsoring) and offer ideal opportunities for cooperation with the Entrepreneurial School®.
