Prof. Dr. Udo Broll deceased

It is with great dismay that we have received the sad news Prof. Dr. Udo Broll passed away on March 24, 2025, at the age of 79, after a serious illness. In Udo Broll, the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Center for International Studies (ZIS) at TU Dresden have lost an extraordinarily dedicated and commendable former colleague.

Prof. Dr. Udo Broll held the Faculty's Chair of Economics, especially International Economics, from 2005 to 2012. His teaching and research centered around international trade and the risk policy of international companies. On these and other topics, he published an impressive number of articles in renowned international journals, almost unbridled by his formal retirement in 2012.

Moreover, Udo Broll was very active in teaching beyond the boundaries of the faculty. As a member of the ZIS Academic Council, he supported and helped shape its prestigious International Relations degree programs. For many years, he also coordinated the DAAD-funded "International Business" study program at the Ternopil State University of Economics (now West Ukrainian National University WUNU) in Ternopil, Ukraine.

Our deepest sympathy goes to his wife. We will keep Prof. Dr. Udo Broll in honorable memory.
