KEDGE organises an international partner day ahead of the EAIE conference

19/09/2024
On Friday, 13 September, KEDGE Business School welcomed 20 partner universities from around the globe for a Partner Day held on its Bordeaux campus. This event was organised in advance of the EAIE (European Association for International Education) annual conference, which will take place in Toulouse from 17 to 20 September.

A diverse and enjoyable programme

The Partner Day began with a networking lunch, allowing partner universities to engage with members of KEDGE’s programmes and international departments. To break the ice, the Languages Department hosted a quiz to test international knowledge, fostering lively and dynamic exchanges among participants.

This was followed by a presentation of KEDGE, highlighting the school’s innovative pedagogical approach and commitment to internationalisation. Visitors then had the opportunity to explore the facilities available to students on a campus tour, with a focus on the Business Nursery and Executive Education.

One of the highlights of the day was undoubtedly the wine tasting workshop. This discovery experience allowed partners to learn about the nuances of wines from KEDGE’s campus regions: Bordeaux, Provence, and Île-de-France. A non-alcoholic version, made from wine grapes, delighted those who preferred not to consume alcohol.

To conclude the day in style, participants enjoyed a dinner cruise on the Garonne, offering a stunning view of Bordeaux.

A day for strengthening our relationships with international partners

KEDGE took this opportunity to showcase its programmes and support services designed to provide international students with a unique academic experience. The event also served as a platform for signing a new partnership with Universiti Utara
