International Academic Advisory Board (IAAB)
The Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (E&I) stands for excellence in teaching and research. To strengthen our core values, the Institute has established the International Academic Advisory Board (IAAB). It consists of distinguished and internationally eminent faculty from leading academic institutions around the globe. They provide valuable counsel and outside perspectives that help us to maintain high E&I standards. Exchange stimulates creativity, thus IAAB members join E&I in research stays, workshops, and guest lectures.

E&I Ambassadors
If you have not yet found the information you need about the Entrepreneurship & Innovation specialization (E&I SBWL) on our website, or have some questions about the program, feel free to contact an E&I ambassador.
The E&I Ambassadors are current and former students of the SBWL and can give you first-hand insights into our specialization based on their personal experience. In addition, they are happy to provide you with support during your application phase.

As an E&I ambassador, I’m eager to assist students and pass on what I’ve learned from my own experiences. Now in my final year at WU, I’m happy to help with any questions you may have. E&I has given me the opportunity to connect with like-minded people and make many new friends. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions – I’m here to help!
Moritz Heidenreich
I'm glad to be part of the E&I community, where I've found both support and inspiration. The E&I specialization has enriched my studies by connecting me with like-minded individuals who share a passion for entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. As someone who has benefited from E&I, I'm excited to give back and support other students in making the most of what E&I offers. Whether you need advice on courses, events or just want to chat, feel free to reach out!
Benedikt von Keyserlingk
As a member of the E&I Community, I am committed to supporting E&I students by sharing my knowledge and experiences. Through experience from participating in project courses such as Garage and being actively involved in E&I events, I'm here to offer guidance and support to current and future E&I students. Please don't hesitate to connect with me for insights on courses, accreditation, or any other inquiries you might have.
Luka Pavlovic
Trial and error – that’s what’s up. After seeing my first small business succeed, I was eager to explore new ventures, though not all of them worked out. Initially, it’s easy to focus on the single flaw rather than appreciating the full picture. During my studies, I chose E&I, which turned out to be the right specialization for me. It allows me to connect with like-minded people, lets us share experiences, deepen our understanding of entrepreneurship, and, ultimately, embrace the process of trial and error. As an E&I ambassador, I’m excited to hear your story and support you in any way I can.
Robin Putnai
I’m genuinely excited to be part of the E&I community, where I can connect with driven, like-minded people and share my own experiences. The E&I community stands out for its commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship, providing a supportive network and insights into real-world business projects. Unlike other courses at WU, the E&I program focuses on hands-on learning and practical experience, making each lesson feel relevant and applicable. I look forward to growing alongside this inspiring group and am always happy to help with any questions, insights, or advice about the E&I program!
Lorenz Roth
As an E&I Ambassador, I’m excited to support students by sharing my experiences and being actively involved in our vibrant community. Starting the E&I specialization has been one of the highlights of my studies, introducing me to hands-on projects, inspiring workshops, and a group of highly motivated, like-minded people who are always there to help. My goal is to extend this welcoming atmosphere to all new E&I students, so if you have any questions or just want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to share experience with you.
Tom Frédéric Treichel
Being part of the E&I specialisation has been one of the most immersive and rewarding experiences of my bachelor’s. Throughout the program, I had the opportunity to collaborate with inspiring entrepreneurs and talented students from universities around the world. I’m here to encourage other students and am always available for any questions — so feel free to reach out anytime.
Timothy Walch
I started in the E&I specialization just this semester, and in retrospect, I wish I had joined earlier. The dynamic environment has enriched my academic experience and ignited my passion for entrepreneurship. While networking and meeting new people can be challenging at first, the friendly atmosphere and supportive peers make it easier to connect. The first events and classes truly caught my attention, and I feel a strong sense of belonging. I’m excited to share my insights with others—please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need guidance!
