Since 2001 he is academic director in sports management at the Europäisches Institut für postgraduale Bildung (EIPOS) at Dresden University of Technology in association with the Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund. He lectures on the application of mathematics and statistics in management at EIPOS in Dresden.

In addition to his scientific work Volker Oppitz was between 2002 and 2005 Vice President of the German football club Dynamo Dresden, and since 2005 has been honorary chairman. His son, also named Volker, is a player for the club.

Work

Oppitz deals mainly with draft mathematical models and their practical use. He pays special attention to the synthesis of mathematics and economics and practical solutions to the economic problems of corporate practice. Even the most difficult of financial models follow after his scientific explanation of the purpose, in its everyday use to maximize profits and minimize costs. The research activity of Prof. Oppitz includes company management and economics, management of planning and organization of economics, management processes and engineering management, economic modelling, particularly in financial/budgetary maths, risk management, and forecasting methods.

Oppitz has published over 200 scientific publications, including more than 20 books and papers, numerous articles in journals, on patents and property rights.
