From 30 May to 7 June 2022, a workshop on "Non-Conflicts" in Central Asia was held in Almaty, Kazakhstan, funded by the German Academic Exchange Service and led by Prof. Dr Jakob Lempp. The workshop focused on the question of whether there are regions in Central Asia in which violent conflicts were or are conceivable in principle due to certain structural conditions (e.g. ethnic diversity or socio-economic problems), but ultimately did not occur.

Students from International Taxation and Law, B.A. had the possibility to get to know the work as a consultant at Ernst & Young GmbH – Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (EY), one of the big four consultant companies worldwide. For our students this was the perfect possibility to extend their network.
