We attract prominent researchers from around the world: more than 80% of our permanent professors come from outside of France and publish in top-tier scientific journals worldwide. With this partnership we are looking to reinforce our efforts to become a leading international research hub in domains linked to business, economics, management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Wilfried Lemahieu, Dean of KU Leuven\u2019s Faculty of Economics and Business also looks forward to cooperating: \u201cFEB\u2019s research activities strongly contribute to its international dimension. We have a long tradition in international research collaborations, long and short faculty visits abroad, internationally focused research centres and research groups, international guest lecturers, and more. This results in a worldwide network with common academic pursuits, demonstrated by the many top-publications with foreign co-authors. Together with I\u00c9SEG School of Management we can further strengthen our international research in business economics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u00c9SEG School of Management is launching a joint PhD Program in Applied Economics (economics, management etc.) with the Faculty of Economics and Business at leading international research university KU Leuven [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":84071,"menu_order":0,"template":"","news-category":[103,76,298],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.2 -
