To mark the 75th anniversary of Koelnmesse in summer 1999, the Institute of Trade Fair Management and Distribution Research was founded in cooperation with the University of Cologne.
It is attached to the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences and is under the direction of Professors Dr. Werner Delfmann, Dr. Richard K�hler and Dr. Lothar M�ller-Hagedorn.
The Institute is financed by Koelnmesse Foundation which was also established recently.
The objective and task of the Institute is the development of an optional subject of trade fair management within the main degree course, the conduct of practically-oriented research projects on all topical questions in the trade fair business as well as assistance with theses and dissertations.
As an interface between theory and practice, the Institute will conduct basic and applied research in the field of trade fair management, and will also promote the implementation of scientific findings.
In the summer semester 2000, teaching started with a series of lectures on the theme of "Trade fair management: conception, organization and implementation". The program is clearly practically oriented.
