Nova SBE hosts Annual Board Meeting of the Kofi Annan Business School Foundation

On October 16th and 17th, Nova SBE will host the annual board meeting of the Kofi Annan Business Schools Foundation (KABS Foundation).

Nova SBE is one of the associated business schools of the KABS Foundation since January 2013, and NOVAFRICA became responsible for the management of the Kofi Annan fellowship. This fellowship is awarded for talented students from developing countries who wish to study at Nova SBE.

The KABS Foundation is a joint initiative of the Public Advice International Foundation (PA International), Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School (Vlerick) and Hogeschool Utrecht University of Applied Sciences (HU). It aims to stimulate local entrepreneurship by creating a new generation of innovative and socially responsible entrepreneurs in developing regions through tailor-made and practice oriented study programs.

All interested will have the opportunity to join the discussion session on October 16th at 5pm on working with KABS partner institutions in developing countries, led by José Ferreira Machado, from Nova SBE, and Wulff Plinke, from EMST.
