CEMS – The Global Alliance in Management Education is one of the most important alliances of internationally leading business schools and multinational companies. WU is a member of this network and is Austria’s exclusive provider of the CEMS Master in International Management program. The CEMS Annual Events are the highlight of the CEMS year, bringing the entire international CEMS community together to exchange ideas and network. WU hosted the 31st Annual Events and welcomed around 2,800 guests to Vienna and Campus WU between November 27 and December 1, 2019. In addition to a number of meetings and networking events, WU also hosted the 2019 Graduation Ceremony for 820 international CEMS students.

The 31st CEMS Annual Events were a great success for WU. Professor Günter Stahl received his sixth CEMS Course of the Year Award (category: Global Management Practice) this year, and Phillip Nell, who has already received three awards, came in second this year for the CEMS Course of the Year Award in the category Global Strategic Management. Professor Clive Spash and WU researcher Viviana Asara were presented with the CEMS Outstanding Contribution Award for their interactive course on climate change. WU came in second in this year’s race for the title of CEMS School of the Year. WU won this title in 2015.
