Economic Olympiad: Ultimate League for Mastery in Applied Economics (ULMA)

Welcome to the Ultimate League for Mastery in Applied Economics (ULMA)!

ULMA is a knowledge olympiad in the field of economics, conducted both locally in person at Ulm University and internationally online via Moodle. The olympiad covers topics such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and finance.

Participants can be students from Ulm University, especially from the fields of Economics, Business Mathematics, Business Physics, and Business Chemistry, as well as students from other universities worldwide (Bachelor/Master/PhD).

Our goal is to motivate participants to refresh and apply their knowledge as well as foster interest and enthusiasm for economics. Through the international orientation of the olympiad, we also aim to strengthen intercultural understanding and the exchange between universities. We are confident that this olympiad will contribute to foster relations between students and teachers of universities, as well as provide an opportunity for the exchange of mutually beneficial scientific and practical knowledge and experience.

We look forward to your participation and wish you great success at ULMA!
