Faculty Members as Academic Advisors and Jury Member at the YES! Final 2024

How can economic interrelations, scientific methods, and key qualifications such as project management, teamwork, and presentation techniques be taught to the next generation? Researchers from the Faculty of Economics and Management have committed themselves to this goal.

The Institute for Environmental Economics and World Trade participated in this year’s YES! – Young Economic Solutions – competition. The national final took place from September 17th to 19th, 2024, in Hamburg. Here, the top 13 school teams presented their innovative ideas to economic and sustainability challenges. Robyn Blake-Rath not only had the opportunity to accompany the school team she mentored from the Helene-Lange-Gymnasium in Rendsburg but was also part of the member jury for the Best Scientific Analysis Award.

The YES! Final 2024 impressively showcased the potential and creativity of the young generation.

This year's topics from the IUW:

Eva Seewald und Ronja Seegers: Der ökologische Fußabdruck unseres Essens auf dem Prüfstand – Wie kann eine nachhaltige Ernährung aussehen?
