PuCnet Alumni
PuCnet Alumni is a network around the Institute for Corporate Accounting and Controlling (IUC) and the former Institute for Production Management and Controlling (IPC) of the LMU Munich.
PuCnet Alumni
PuCnet Alumni brings together students, graduates, current and former employees and companies who are interested in the work of the IUC and in questions of controlling and corporate accounting. PuCnet Alumni is a non-profit organization that pursues non-commercial goals. PuCnet Alumni is based on three thematic pillars, the realization of which is the goal of the association: knowledge, support, networking.
Knowledge. PuCnet Alumni seeks and designs bilateral knowledge transfer between science and practice. The existing potential should be optimally used by closely interlinking both areas and solving new types of problems together. Regular symposiums and lectures on current controlling topics as well as the intensification of practical training and research form the basis for this.
Support. PuCnet Alumni supports teaching and research at the IUC. The aim is to promote new types of research projects and to ensure that teaching is up-to-date through intensified participation in international scientific discourse. In addition, PuCnet Alumni supports outstanding academic achievements.
Network. PuCnet Alumni builds on and maintains a broad and dynamic network. The aim is to create a forum for members to exchange experiences and maintain contacts. PuCnet offers help to establish intensive contacts between the members. This is done, for example, by arranging internships and dissertations or the participation of companies in practical courses.
