30.09.2011 Environment and Sustainability
The German ALANUS University of Arts and Social Sciences near the city of Bonn was founded to analyze
critically questions of the society. Students should get involved to push
problems of concern. Prof.Dr.B.Hallier discussed with one of the classes
the topics of globalization, the retail tornado, environmental retail management and the Global House of Harmony.
Students will contact European retailers to learn about those activities in the field of sustainability/environment - and they want to check a status quo among the ERA-network of universities and their teaching programs in this field. By this they want to find out if Tempus- or Leonardo projects could be initiated.

26.08.2011 From Crisis to Competence
In 1994 EHI Retail Institute started at the peak of the first BSE-Crisis (Mad Cow Disease) to organize EHI-labelling for beef. At that time meat was still an anonymous product: with no ear-marks for cows or tracing/tracking-systems
EHI promoted facultative labelling and helped later to introduce the EU-regulations 1825/2000 and VO (EG) 999/2001. In August 2011 now the EU-Commission is even thinking of RFID for cows! Prof. Dr. Hallier is describing the history of this process in his new book “From Crisis to Competence”
