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.

Professor Ganzalo Garland, one of IE´s fall master class speakers

The Europe and CIS team in Madrid at IE is planning trips throughout the region for Autumn 2011. With the support of some of the top professors at IE, we will be holding Master Classes and conferences on everything from Sports Marketing, Entrepreneurship to the World Economic Outlook.

Among the many other events that we are organising, Masters Classes will be held in Moscow and Tbilisi in September, Moscow and Paris in October and also in Bucharest and Baku in November. For specific details and to register, please view this link-  Events in Europe and CIS 
You will have the opportunity to meet professors Gonzalo Garland, Pablo Martin de Holan, Eduardo Fernández-Cantelli and Gayle Allard, among others, in your city.

Here is information about each of these professors:

Gonzalo Garland- As well as teaching the core course on Economic Environment, an elective course on Business in Developing Countries and several short courses and conferences in the executive education division, Gonzalo Garland also finds time to carry out the administrative responsibilities required of him in his role as director of external relations at Instituto de Empresa.

But teaching – which he says he first experienced at the age of 17 – is in his blood and he remains passionate about it. “Teaching is crucial,” he says. “I like transmitting knowledge and being able to explain things that at first might seem difficult for people. But when they suddenly understand what you’re talking about and see the relevance, it’s very gratifying.”

In the field of macroeconomics, Prof Garland has conducted research into the economic effects of demographic changes and he is also an expert on financial crises. And with his specialist knowledge of the economics of developing countries such as China, India, Brazil and Mexico, Prof Garland expertise is much in demand, as MBA students look for business education programmes that have an increasingly international flavour.

“Everyone wants a more global vision,” he says. “And the fact that 85 per cent of students in the international MBA at Instituto de Empresa are from outside Spain makes the classes fascinating because often, what you’re talking about is something that people are relating to the situation in their own countries.”

Spain and Russia are working together to promote cultural awareness throughout 2011.

Spain and Russia have lauched an initiative in 2011 to work together throughout the year to create an extensive programme of educational, cultural, scientific and economic projects. The aim is to boost Spain-Russia relations and create new opportunities between the two countries.

This week IE hosted deans, rectors and vice rectors of key Russian education institutions to talk with leaders from IE and other Spanish institutions on ways to work together on education. The meeting was organized in collaboration with the Russian Association of Business Education (RABE).

Several more upcoming events can be found here. Many of the events are open to the general public, and cover a range of topics, from studying abroad to language and culture.
