Each year, the international CEMS community meets in a different university city to exchange views on international management education, socialize, and celebrate the successes of the past year with the graduating class. “As one of Europe’s largest business universities with a strong focus on internationality, we are very proud to be hosting the CEMS Annual Events again after 30 years. Over a period of five days, WU will be organizing a whole series of different events. In total, we will be welcoming around 2,800 guests, coming to Vienna from renowned international universities, NGOs, and Corporate Partners. This is quite challenging, but it’s a challenge we are happy to face,” says WU Rector Edeltraud Hanappi-Egger.
