Research

Research in the Department of Business, Economics and Law focuses on the three key areas of "Sustainability & Energy", "Digitalization & Internationalization" and "Innovation & Learning". The department is one of Germany's pioneers in sustainability research in economics and business administration and has a wide range of research activities in the field of digitalization due to the fact that it forms a joint faculty with Computer Science. A special feature of the department is the international orientation of the legal sciences, which is reflected, for example, in extensive collaborations and joint degree courses with the University of Groningen. A particular focus of research is the analysis of social transformations, innovations, and learning processes. For example, the department has a long history of teacher training in economics, which plays a key role in sustainability-oriented and digital transformation topics.

The three focal areas of the department have many overlaps with the focal areas of the Department of Computer Science, other faculties and the university as a whole. For example, the Department of Computer Science, like the Department of WiRe, also has strong research in the field of energy and sustainability. Very extensive research activities in the areas of energy and sustainability exist across faculties at the university and important affiliated institutes, e.g. in the area of research on renewable energies (e.g. in Faculty V), marine biology (e.g. HIFMB) or sociology (e.g. Organization and Innovation). The department is linked to the relevant stakeholders primarily through its extensive activities in the "COAST" center (currently in the process of being renamed). Finally, the newly formulated focus areas are directly linked to the university's focus areas "Sustainability", "Energy of the Future" and "Participation and Education" as well as "Professionalization Processes in Teacher Education". The department's focal points are therefore not only focal points of the department, but are also reflected in corresponding focal points at university level, which enables cross-departmental and cross-faculty research projects.
