Frankfurt School of Finance & Management

At our FS Alumni Homecoming 2026 last weekend, alumni from across generations came together for a day of networking, exchange and shared experiences. For the first time, the event took place at the PSD Bank Arena, bringing the Frankfurt School and Frankfurt Galaxy partnership to life.🏈

Prof. Dr. Nils Stieglitz and Eric Reutemann opened the event, while keynote speaker Nadine Nurasyid shared powerful insights on leadership, high performance, team culture and communication under pressure.

From reconnecting with familiar faces to celebrating 30 years of FS Alumni e. V. and enjoying Frankfurt Galaxy’s home game against the Munich Ravens, the day reflected what makes our community special: strong relationships that continue long after graduation.✨

What happens when people are simply asked to think about an ‘enemy’ group before discussing political issues?

New research from Frankfurt School, led by Professor Frederik Schwerter alongside Professor Nicola Gennaioli and Professor Guido Tabellini from Università Bocconi and CEPR - Centre for Economic Policy Research, shows that this alone can increase political disagreement by 8 to 35 per cent - without new facts, policy arguments or misinformation.

Based on responses from nearly 13,000 people in the US, the study highlights how quickly ‘us versus them’ framing can shape beliefs and deepen division.
