A Portrait of Professor Dr. Michaela Wänke

Michaela Wänke, Professor of Consumer and Economic Psychology, joined the University of Mannheim ten years ago. The Mannheim professor is focused and full of passion for her research: She is convinced that anyone trying to tackle the problems of Western society, such as sustainability, mobility, diet, social justice, and health, has to understand people’s consumer behavior first.

Checking in with Dr. Uta Meeder

Having grown up in a Stuttgart suburb, Dr. Uta Meeder ended up studying in Mannheim, where her fascination for numbers and economic processes led her to pursue a degree in Business Administration, but she never lost her love for art, for creativity, for design, and photography. With her design label MAOMI, she managed to successfully combine both passions.
