Shortly after finishing the ZuWI 2 course’s final two-day external seminar “ZuWi II: Corporate Social Responsibility – Sincere or PR gag?” I had a skype conversation about a summer internship, which had actually already been set. Surprisingly enough, I then got a refusal after all. Now what? Finding a good summer internship as late as April is close to impossible… When I was about to leave Payersbach-Reichenau, where the seminar had taken place, I coincidentally met Professor Dr. André Martinuzzi and told him about the refusal. Without hesitation, he called Ottobock’s head of marketing, an international firm he collaborates with in the LIV_IN project, and suggested me as an intern. That day, I could not have imagined that this would actually work out. Now, however, I am doing my internship at Ottobock’s Digital Marketing, happy about the chance to contribute to this innovative project.

I am very much looking forward to the coming weeks and the ensuing collaboration with the Institute for Managing Sustainability.
