International Conference and Annual Meeting of the AACSB in Houston, Texas [09.05.17]
The Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences is working on the international accreditation with the agency AACSB. To stay up to date and get new ideas for the long-term goal of the international accreditation, Ms. Heike Gruner as the Executive Manager and Ms. Veronika Kölle as Quality Manager of the Faculty, attended the International Conference and Annual Meeting of the AACSB in Houston, Texas.
More than 1300 participants from 50 countries met on the annual event to get together in workshops, plenaries and for networking purposes. This year, the conference was from April 23rd to April 25th and took place in Houston, Texas.
With the pursued international accreditation, there will be comprehensive changes in several study programs. Furthermore, accredited institutions have a competitive advantage on the market as well as in the development of institutional partnerships, for example for study exchange and/or research activities.
Beside the extensive program of the conference, the AACSB presented their new brand and logo. The new logo identifies the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences as members of the AACSB on its website and printed matters. The Faculty is maintaining the membership in the AACSB since May 2016.
