Goals

Recruited on an international scale, participants come from varied cultural backgrounds and benefit from different academic and professional experiences ; the diversity of a multicultural and multidisciplinary group helps to provide a comparative approach. Seminars are interactive with modern teaching methodologies including in-class case studies, references to concrete professional situations, in class role-playing and interactions between peers and lecturers. Participants are not only exposed to best management practices, they are also complementary and learn from one another.
