audaxes – Cooperation Partner of Faculty of Business Administration and Economics, University of Duisburg-Essen
We are excited to announce that audaxes is partnering with the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) in 2026. This collaboration marks an important milestone in audaxes’s ongoing commitment to connecting academic excellence with real-world business practice, equipping students with practical skills, industry exposure, and the mindset needed to succeed in today’s IT consulting landscape.
The kickoff meeting of the partnership took place on 23.02.2026, where we had the pleasure of meeting the faculty’s representatives as well as fellow partners within the network. The exchange has set a strong foundation for an open, practice-oriented collaboration driven by shared goals and mutual learning.
A central pillar of this partnership is the faculty’s initiative ConPract – Connect to Practice. For over a decade, ConPract has served as a dynamic platform connecting students, graduates, and companies through targeted networking formats, career events, and joint projects. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, the initiative creates opportunities for students to gain practical experience, enables companies to engage directly with talents, and supports projects that link classroom learning with real-world business practice.
As part of this strategic cooperation, audaxes will work closely with the faculty to strengthen talent development and knowledge transfer by offering training and work opportunities to students and graduates. This partnership also provides audaxes with direct access to a highly motivated pool of talents and creates opportunities for us to share insights from our work in IT consulting, supply chain optimization, and SAP S/4HANA transformation projects.
In addition, audaxes will actively contribute to the faculty’s network activities — including the ConPract career fair, where companies and students meet face to face to explore internships, working student positions, thesis writing opportunities, and possible career paths. The date for ConPract Career Fair 2026 is already confirmed: 29.04.2026 (Wednesday). Save the date and stay tuned for further information! We look forward to many inspiring conversations on campus.
audaxes is proud to be part of a community that values the exchange between academia and industry. Together with the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at UDE, we look forward to a successful year of collaboration that strengthens academic excellence, supports talent development, and creates meaningful impact for students and businesses alike.
