New partnerships sealed<\/h2> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The interaction between science and practice is a key success factor in modern controlling. This is precisely where the ICV university partnerships come in. Through close cooperation with universities, the ICV and its partners create a platform on which theoretical knowledge and real-life application can be effectively combined.<\/p>\n

At the heart of these partnerships is the targeted exchange of expertise: the ICV contributes its extensive practical experience to teaching and research, while universities provide the latest scientific findings and innovative approaches. Shared events, guest lectures, practical projects and the involvement of students in real-life controlling topics ensure that students can experience controlling.<\/p>\n

The universities benefit from direct access to practice, can align their course content more closely with the requirements of the corporate world and offer their students valuable insights and networking opportunities. At the same time, a partnership with the ICV increases the attractiveness of courses in controlling and finance. In return, the ICV gains access to young talent, new ideas and the latest research findings. The exchange with students and lecturers strengthens the further development of controlling approaches and ensures the future viability of the profession.<\/p>\n

The fact that the ICV’s university partnerships are more than just a formality is demonstrated by the partnerships that have recently been signed.<\/p>\n

With FH JOANNEUM, the ICV has gained a strong new partner that offers concrete impetus for research and practical teaching, particularly through its strong industry orientation and focus on digitalization.<\/p>\n

The new cooperation with Heilbronn University is characterized by innovative approaches, such as the integration of the Metaverse into teaching, and provides students with modern, interactive access to real controlling topics.<\/p>\n

In the west, the cooperation with the Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences expands the network to include another practice-oriented university. The focus here is particularly on the regional exchange between companies, lecturers and students. This not only strengthens teaching, but also creates direct interfaces with the regional economy.<\/p>\n

The examples show that despite their individuality, the partnerships pursue a common goal: To further develop controlling in a practical, innovative and future-oriented way and to familiarize students with the reality of the profession at an early stage.<\/p>\n

Prof. Dr. Bj\u00f6rn Baltzer(b.baltzer@icv-controlling.com),<\/a> Executive Advisor at the ICV, is available as a contact person for interested parties and potential partners and is supporting the expansion of this important network between universities and controlling practice.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
