From February 11 to 14, the HUST School of Management delegation, led by Dean Yang Zhi and Vice Dean Wang Haijun, visited the IÉSEG School of Management in France and attended the 2025 EFMD Conference for Deans & Directors General.

During their visit to IÉSEG, the two schools signed a cooperation agreement for the “1+1+1” Professional Master’s Program. IÉSEG, a top-ten French business school with prestigious international accreditations, further proposed establishing a “3+2” cooperation program and welcomed more students from the School of Management. This visit builds on a bilateral student exchange agreement signed in 2023.

At the EFMD conference, the delegation met with key figures, including Metka Tekavčič, member of the EQUIS Accreditation Board. Their discussions led to a preliminary agreement to host the 2026 EFMD Asia-Pacific Deans Conference at the School of Management, HUST. The delegation also exchanged with delegates from top international business schools, including Birmingham Business School, KEDGE Business School, and HEC Montreal.
