Autumn Business School is held by the Graduate School of Economics and Management

The X International Autumn School "Sustainable Business Development: Smart Future for All" is taking place on November 10-18. Students from 31 countries are receiving business education in UrFU GSEM.

'The autumn school is designed to promote the exchange of knowledge in the field of sustainable development of global business, to create opportunities for obtaining international experience of positive change. Judging by the feedback, the program allows participants to learn how to work with “smart” trends, socially responsible business technologies and practice effective innovations not only within the framework of the final project, but also in their future career,' Zhanna Belyaeva, the project leader, says.

The School participants have already attended lectures by international professors Dolores Sanchez Bengoa (University of Applied Management Studies, Mannheim) and Alberto Ferraris (UrFU GSEM and Università degli Studi di Torino, Turin), visited the UrFU Innovative System and Model Factory of Lean Production, participated in corporate visits, workshops and case studies organized by Coca-Cola, Unilever, and Philip Morris. Besides that, they work in teams to develop soft skills.

Note that the School was launched in 2007. People from 36 countries of 42 nations have completed the Business School courses. Professors, coaches, and businesspeople from nearly all continents (Canada, Brazil, EU, Australia, New Zealand, China) have participated as teachers. Banking, finance, FMCG, telecommunications, heavy, and light industry, audit and consulting sphere representatives have acted as the School’s corporate partners.

The “International Economics and Business” program project team along with the GSEM International Affairs office are organizers and developers of the International Autumn School.
