2nd IÉSEG Postgraduate Summer Academy in Paris (July 1-15, 2013): The Future of Global Economies

After a successful launching in 2012, IÉSEG School of Management will offer again this innovative summer course opportunity in Paris for students with an advanced academic degree background. Stefan Michalski, MBA student at University of Richmond (USA), who participated to the first edition of the IÉSEG Postgraduate Summer Academy, shares his experience: “The most valuable experience was the opportunity that the summer academy afforded us to actively network with students and faculty from all over the world, as well as, a variety of representatives from multi-national French companies.” Bistra Kancheva, (London College of Communication, UK), another 2012 alumna, highlights the balanced mix of high level academic learning with extensive company participation: “I loved the programme – interesting and relevant courses, passionate tutors and good mix of external activities such as visits to various institutions with academic work. Good opportunity to meet a lot of new people and to network with great professionals.”

During two weeks in July 2013, the IÉSEG Postgraduate Summer Academy will focus again on Responsible Management. Course participants will learn how to lead the process of conducting business in line with sustainable development and social issues, and will better understand the importance of underpinning economies with values to drive sustainable and inclusive growth. Through interactive sessions and case studies, students will be given an overview of the sustainability movement in the context of globalization, and the ways in which corporations are integrating environmental and social issues into strategy and operations.
