MY HOMELAND

1. WHAT DOES THE GLOBALIZATION AND LOCALIZATION STUDY PROGRAM OFFER?

The Globalization and Localization study program acquaints students with developments in the world economy with an emphasis on the process of globalization. However, this process involves many of the risks exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. The use of global sharing and decentralized technologies creates space for the development of local economies. Students will learn what local anchoring offers, both in the areas of the local economy and also in the participation of citizens and community activities. An integral part of the program is the emphasis on modern technologies, from 3D printing to blockchains, fab labs, digitization options and more.

The study program is all the more topical due to the pandemic and related economic problems, as it directly reflects the key issues of the future: The recovery and modernization of the economy and society. This study program expresses our common responsibility to our homeland and shows the way to implement it.
