ABOUT
IB at AAU 40 Anniversary Event
To mark the 40th anniversary of our International Business Group at AAU, we are hosting a special event at AAU Innovate in Aalborg on October 4th.
Join us for a day of insightful sessions, networking opportunities, and celebrations as we reflect on 40 years of milestones and explore the present and future of international business and globalisation.
Get ready to be inspired by industry leaders, gain valuable insights, and connect with like-minded professionals from industry and academia.
The event will focus on the theme of international business over the years, offering both a retrospective view and discussions on the future of globalization and its impact on the region and business community.
In the morning, the mayor of Aalborg, leaders from prominent companies and organizations in the region will share their perspectives on the latest developments in globalization, highlighting the challenges and opportunities these changes present.
After lunch, we will focus on lessons learned from research into international business and, not the least, how PBL has been developed and provided flexible learning spaces for our students and partners from a variety of countries and cultures. We will also reflect on the lessons learned from the International Business educational program itself being internationalized.
