University of Stuttgart and Ferry Porsche Foundation sign ten-year sponsorship agreement
The Ferry Porsche Foundation is funding the first professorship in Germany which is dedicated specifically to the topic of corporate history. An agreement between the University of Stuttgart and the non-profit Ferry Porsche Foundation has now been signed in Stuttgart. The Faculty of Humanities at the university will advertise the professorship with immediate effect and will fill the position this year. The endowed professorship is intended to help companies to analyze their history in a way which is scientifically independent, and to better understand their economic and industrial achievements in a historical and social context. The individual achievements of business personalities will also be examined. "We are filling a gap in the scientific examination of how corporate culture has developed in the course of history," says Prof. Wolfram Ressel, Rector of the University of Stuttgart. The professor will work closely together with existing professors at the university for the "History of Technology" and "History of the Impact of Technology", as well as with the Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences.
