The UNIMED and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the world’s oldest and largest business school association, have teamed up to co-host various sessions aimed at encouraging the exchange of ideas and best practices across the Mediterranean region. The sessions will create a platform and bring together members from these two prestigious educational networks.

The first two sessions will be on the following topics:

Session 1: ‘The role of business and management higher education in aiding economic recovery and development’

Wednesday, 7 October 2020 – 11:00-12:00 (CEST)

In this first session, our speakers will highlight some of the initiatives taken by their business schools/faculties at working with government, local and national businesses, and non-profit organizations in order to lead and contribute to economic recovery following times of crisis. The discussion will then be opened up to the floor for the participants to also share their views and ideas.
