Michael Wirtz

University Advisor, University of Wuppertal
Germany

After having studied managerial economics I made a degree in social sciences. In 2012, I worked for the Wuppertal Institute of Climate, Environment and Energy and then applied for a job at the UNESCO Chair for Entrepreneurship and Intercultural Management in 2013. During my work at the chair, I was responsible for teaching Social Entrepreneurship and Social Business, organised events like SBAC in 2015 or Sustainable Insights in 2016, jointly with partners, and supported for the local enactus team as a University Advisor.

I completed a cumulative PhD Thesis titled “Social Business Innovations” containing four studies in the field of social business. My contract at the Chair ended in April 2018, the defense of the PhD will take place end of May.
