This prestigious seminar, led by the Fulbright Commision, aims to enable selected university administrators to gain a deeper understanding of the specific features of the French higher education system, while also identifying concrete opportunities for academic and institutional cooperation.
International recognition for KEDGE
The selection of KEDGE Business School by the Fulbright Commission represents a genuine mark of recognition of its expertise in international development strategy. This choice highlights the school’s credibility and appeal on the global academic stage, particularly among North American partners.
Through this visit, KEDGE confirms its position as a key player in the internationalisation of higher education, capable of engaging with leading institutions and actively contributing to global cooperation dynamics.
Showcasing the French "grandes écoles" model
The seminar provided an in-depth presentation of the French business school ecosystem, characterised by strong links with the corporate world, high academic standards, and a clear international outlook.
The discussions enabled the 14 participants to gain a better understanding of the specific features of the French model, as well as to explore the possibilities of COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning), an innovative teaching approach that enables students in different countries to collaborate remotely on shared learning activities.
A flagship partnership with Africa: the example of BEM Dakar
At the heart of the discussions, KEDGE particularly highlighted its long-standing partnership with BEM Dakar.
This presence in Africa is a major differentiating factor for KEDGE, demonstrating its ability to develop strong international alliances and engage in co-construction with its partners. It also reflects the school’s commitment to inclusive and responsible internationalisation.
By hosting this delegation, KEDGE reaffirms its commitment to building bridges between education systems and developing lasting relationships with American institutions that share common values of excellence, diversity, and international openness.
