Evènement | May 14, 2018

On Monday May 14th all the members of the MIB EPAS Consortium met in RISEBA University in Riga to talk in further details about ongoing projects and exchange on actions to come.

Members of the consortium discussed the master thesis competition that was organized for the first time this year. Each member institution nominated the student of their home university who wrote the best master thesis in International Management.
The selected students were asked to do a short presentation video to further explain their subject. Their work were then reviewed by a committee made of one academic representative of each institution.The final results of the competition will be announced by the end of the month. 

The annual meeting was also the opportunity to welcome three new members within the MIB EPAS Consortium: IAE Montpellier (France) Toulouse School of Management (France) and Mälardalen University (Sweden) and to consider new joint projects (common real case, research proposal on CSR…)
