A word from the President
The global corona pandemic made 2020 a demanding and very special year for students and staff at BI Norwegian Business School.
Strategy 2025
By being a research-based, learning-oriented and connected business school, BI shall shape individuals and business for an international, digital and sustainable future.
International
The pandemic led to less mobility to and from BI in the past year. BI’s ambition, nevertheless, is to take a global approach to teaching, research and business, and we place strong emphasis on providing the students with international perspectives…
Digital
BI has worked purposefully on digitalisation for several years, both with respect to our work processes and the way teaching is organised. In 2020, both had to become fully digital.
Sustainability
BI wants to contribute to a more sustainable development and responsible business operations in society and business both in Norway and abroad.
