Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite faculty members from your institution to apply for the 2026 edition of our “Excellence in Pedagogy Programme.” 

The programme will take place in March 2026, during the weeks of March 16 and March 23, and will follow a block seminar format delivered in person on campus.

These seminars are integrated into our Master in Management (MIM) curriculum. The language of instruction for the Excellence in Pedagogy modules is English only. The students are typically aged 22–23 and are enrolled in either the English or French track of the MIM programme. Some participants may also be part of our work-study track.

The goal of this initiative is to offer our students unique perspectives and insights on contemporary and regionally relevant topics. We are particularly seeking seminar proposals in the following areas:

• Luxury Management: Branding and Marketing
• Wine & Spirits Management
• International Business (Negotiation, HR, Marketing, Sales, Global Management)
• Emerging Trends in Finance
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
• Artificial Intelligence & Digitalisation
• Leadership
• Innovation (including Frugal Innovation, Social Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Agile Methods, Product Development, Venture Creation)
• Human Resources (Diversity, Talent Management, People Development, etc.)

Interested professors are invited to submit proposals for one-week block seminars starting either March 16 or March 23, 2026. Please note that campus assignments will be determined upon selection of the proposals.

Additional details regarding logistics and administration are attached. As part of the programme, BSB will provide a stipend, cover travel expenses, and offer lunch during teaching days.
