“The teaching of cost and activity accounting and SAP software applications in accounting, as well as the contact with the students, has always fulfilled me, as I was able to contribute my professional experience here in particular,” says Prof. Fischer in retrospect.
Now I’m looking forward to spending time with my family, my now 3 grandchildren, our garden, culture and the mountains of South Tyrol.”
