Dear faculty,

Burgundy School of Business invite our faculty members to apply for the 2026 edition of our “Excellence in Pedagogy Programme.” We would be grateful if you could share this invitation with colleagues or professors who may be interested in participating.

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.

• 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.
