"I loved the internationality within the Summer School, learning and visiting companies with people in my age but from all over the world. This is real supply chain management, integrating different people into one surrounding and trying to obtain the best achievable output: increasing our knowledge in supply chain management. We all gained a lot of knowledge and had extraordinary insights in the German way of doing supply chain management"
~ Lisa Luedeck
"I really enjoyed the summer school because of the opportunities to learn within a multi-cultural team and to visit companies, where we could see their internal processes. The practical insights gave us a full understanding of how supply chains work. Also, the companies "challenged" us by giving us case studies that addressed their current or past issues that we were asked to solve within groups. Surprisingly, the outcomes were always similar to the companies solution. All in all, it was a fun and instructive program."
~ Niyat Tesfai
