ULYSSES

Ulysses - Digital Student Competition on Family Business

Interested in family businesses, the challenges they face and the possible solutions to these challenges? The Ulysses Contest is an online Family Firm case study competition for university students, just like you!

Ulysses is an international competition. Therefore, the language of the competition is English. Be prepared to contest with international teams online. You do not need to travel across countries, Ulysses is available for you completely online.


In the Ulysses Content you can

  • get to know real Family Firms from different countries,
  • get a glimpse into their business endeavors,
  • work on the real-life case studies of these firms,
  • enter an online international contest with your solutions,
  • win with your team's best solution!
Why join Ulysses?
If you are a teacher, you can implement the collected case studies into your own teaching material. The material collected in the Ulysses project will be available for teachers to use.
If you participate in or own a family firm, you can build close connections with higher education institutions, connect with talented university students, and gain a fresh insight into your own business.

How does this work?
Together with Ulysses colleagues, Family Firms from Austria, Germany, Hungary and Italy have assembled their own case studies, based on their previous experience and challenges they faced during their lifespan. Therefore, they present you with real-life scenarios that you and your team can solve.


The project runs from 30 June 2021 until 29 June 2023 in an international consortium of six partners:

- University of Szeged, Hungary – lead partner, experienced in entrepreneurship education
- Management Center Innsbruck, Austria – experienced partner in entrepreneurship education with well-established relationship in the region

We continued our tradition of welcoming our newly admitted students to the University of Szeged’s Faculty of Business Administration and Management.

Under the guidance of Dr. Ildikó Pusztai-Varga, Director of International Affairs, and Melinda Kovács, International Relations Coordinator, the mentor team worked hard to make the freshmen’s transition as smooth as possible. The programs not only helped students become familiar with Szeged and university life but also strengthened the growing sense of community between mentors and first-year students.
