IE Business School is collaborating with the organizers of the Changellenge Moscow Cup, which began on November 20th and will culminate with the final competition on December 12th.  The project brings together some of the brightest future leaders, and is great chance for IE to meet potential students for the Master in International Management program.

IE will be participating in the Changellenge Competition in several ways. In addition to Dr. David Bach’s Master Class on Strategy Beyond the Market scheduled to take place on December 1st at 18:00 in Moscow High School of Economics, IE representatives will also be meeting with semi-finalists and top contestants at invite-only events to learn more about their professional objectives and their potential to come to IE Business School for master-level study.  As part of IE’s commitment to the Changellenge Competition, two candidates who’ve managed to show top results throughout the competition and who’ve obtained admissions to IE Business School, will be awarded a sizeable scholarship.  There is one scholarship of 30% of tuition fees, and a second of 50% of tuition fees.

Competition contestants who will be participating in the Changellenge Competition and who wish to be considered for one of the scholarships, must have submitted to their admissions application to IE Business School no later than 10 March, 2011.  For support on applying to IE, contact IE’s Moscow Office via email at Russia@ie.edu.

We wish all Changellenge Competition contestants the best of luck.

On October 5th, a Russian Alumni gathering took place in Moscow in the venue of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce. The participants attended a virtual master class of Gayle Allard (the professors of country analysis) where they were able to discuss the future of the global economy.

Networking cocktail followed during which IE graduates were able to catch up with the old friends, meet the new members of the group and connect with several recruiters that represented international companies interested in the professionals with the top international education.

The food was provided by the newly launched company Coté Catering that belongs to IE International MBA Alumna Inga Korchagina. Entrepreneurial spirit of IE Business School can be felt not only on campus in Madrid while students are learning, but also in every city where 40 000 alumni live afterwards.

In September, IE professor of Marketing Eduardo Fernandez-Cantelli held 3 master classes in the top universities of Russia. Students of Moscow State Lomonosov University, MGIMO and St. Petersburg Institute for Economics and Engineering attended his master class “Communication of Nike and Adidas during major sports events”.

In MGIMO the master class was held in Spanish for the students that were fluent. All of the events were of great interest and IE Business School is planning to visit more Russian universities in the future.
