The Faculty of Management and Economics at the University of Passau and IIT Madras (Department of Management Studies) can look back on a long and successful partnership. From November 24 to 25, a research colloquium was held at IIT Madras in Chennai, during which research work and project results of young academics from both partner institutions were presented and discussed. In addition to Professors Lehner, Entrop and Ziegler, Dr. Dorothea Calmels and Dr. Tobias Baumgärtner from the Chair of Information Systems took part. In addition to the scientific lecture program, the meeting also served to deepen existing collaborations and prepare a further project proposal. The existing funding for the lecturer and student exchange through the DAAD program "A New Passage to India" expires at the end of the year and the meeting was also used to coordinate a "Follow up Application", to plan a guest lecture in the summer semester 24 and for a Doctoral Committee Meeting as part of the existing Joint PhD program.
