Projects

The FIM Research Center addresses the needs of the practice in a unique way. For example, the integrated consideration of financial and information technology topics is becoming increasingly important not only for banks and insurance companies, but also in industry - especially against the background of digitalization. The Oetker Group has already been very successful in driving forward innovations in several projects with the Research Center and the elite study program Finance & Information Management. In view of the ever faster changing framework conditions with new disruptive business models, we are particularly looking forward to further cooperation in the future.

With its interdisciplinary approach, the Fraunhofer Project Group for Business & Information Systems Engineering makes a valuable contribution to the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. It uses the FIM competences to support companies in shaping digitization.

The importance of Augsburg as an economic region is particularly evident against the background of Fugger's family history. The Fugger family also has Augsburg at heart as a scientific site. Thus Joseph-Ernst Fürst Fugger v. Glött had a large share in the founding of the university. We are particularly pleased about the outstanding commitment of FIM in research, teaching and innovative practical cooperation. This is why the Fugger family, together with FIM, has donated the Fugger Prize for Science.

The Elite Graduate Program "Finance & Information Management" offers both a scientific and practical education and therefore contributes to an excellent preparation for exceptional careers in business.

Due to the consistent intensification of the cooperation with practice, the research center today has an extensive pool of contacts to renowned companies and thus promotes the synergetic interaction of practice, teaching and research.

FIM prepapres in an excellent manner for the age of digitalization. We have made outstanding experiences with qualified graduates of this program as well as with doctoral candidates in applied research projects and students of the wi-career.net at Hilti.

As a specialist in the management of large IT transformations with a focus on the financial services sector, we appreciate the high quality and consistent practical relevance of the research and teaching of Prof. Buhl and his team.

By combining research and teaching with a high level of practical orientation, I have already learned a great deal for my professional career during my studies and doctorate at the FIM Research Center.

The FIM program is an excellent platform for everyone looking to become a future business leader. The students' high ambition and talent provide the basis for turning the program's strong combination of academia and practice into exceptional results. Allianz Global Investors is proud to support this outstanding program in the field of Finance & Information Management.
