In order to provide participants with a broader vision of the international business context and its challenges, to develop different multidisciplinary skills, five one-week International Seminars are organised over the 18-month programme, gathering all the participants of the cohort.

Seminars start on Monday morning and finish on Friday after lunch. Some adaptations might occur for the “Global Horizons” seminars due to some Country specificity. Attendance is mandatory for the entire length of the Seminar.

1. Induction Seminar – Improbable Intelligence - Paris
2. Inside EUrope - Brussels
3. Global Horizons: “Doing successful and responsible business”- organised with partner institutions either in India, China, Singapore, South Africa or Brazil
4. Innovation Seminar - Austin, Texas
5. Closing Seminar – People, Planet, and Profit - Madrid

In groups, participants are expected to perform an in-depth analysis of a situation or a problem faced by a company and to define recommendations for actions that can realistically be implemented by the business.

This 12 to 14-month team project allows participants to use and consolidate their understanding of the concepts and tools taught during the programme. The outcome of the ICP is a series of recommendations that the sponsor company (corporate or start-up) can implement in order to meet the strategic challenge at hand.

The final results of the projects are presented and defended in front of an academic jury.

The topics are regularly reviewed to best fit participants’ needs.

Along the transformational path of the Executive MBA, participants may as themselves a number of questions. The EMBA Coaching & Career Development Team accompanies participants in making the best use of their EMBA, managing their career, determining their next steps, and helping them to develop a strategy to reach their desired goals.

Individual coaching is proposed in the form of 4 hours of voluntary, confidential, one-on-one coaching sessions per participant with an executive coach whom they select from a pool of qualified coaches. This coaching opportunity is extended to all campuses and is offered in a range of languages.

Other events (such as conferences, guest lectures, company visits, etc…) may be scheduled throughout the programme, aiming at providing participants with relevant business or societal topics and also offering networking opportunities.

Presentations are made by experts, executives, entrepreneurs, or Alumni. They typically take place during course modules. They can be paired by a company visit, conference, a networking cocktail, or other social event. Attendance is not compulsory.
