As one of Europe’s leading business schools, with great ambitions both nationally and internationally, we want to contribute to a better world. Our research and teaching are a big part of this contribution. But it is also important that we use our strong position to create arenas for constructive dialogue and exchanging ideas.
Therefore, we have invited eminent speakers from the business community, politicians and our own faculty to shed some light on gender equality from different perspectives. It will be an inspirational day.
Join us for our live streaming!
