The Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles, began life in 1858 as a Philosophy Department in the Institut Saint-Louis. This department was set up to offer courses that prepared prospective law students for the ‘candidature’ exam, a pre-requisite for law degrees at the time, and which were then based on the study of philosophy and literature. In 1929 Saint-Louis was reclassified as a university-level institution to enable it to award degrees in philosophy and literature. In 1948, the Philosophy Department became an ‘Association without lucrative purpose’ (asbl), adopting the title ‘Faculté universitaire Saint-Louis’. The 1960s saw a phase of accelerating change. The still new Faculty of Saint-Louis became independent of the Institut; there were new buildings, more personnel and more students. The crowning success of the decade came when the "Faculté" became the "Facultés universitaires" and a new institution composed of three Faculties and a School of Philosophy & Religion came into being. Through the 1970s and 1980s Saint-Louis introduced a range of evening study and multilingual programmes. The university has today become a recognised centre of excellence in the field of human sciences. To offer just a few examples of recent developments, Saint-Louis: has introduced Specialised Master’s programmes and doctorates; participates in the Francqui Chair visiting professor programme; has created a number of research posts (under FNRS, FSR, and other funds); participates in the PAI and ARC programmes; has set up doctoral schools; participates in inter-university student exchange programmes (such as ERASMUS and North-South cooperation); participates in collaborative research, and last but not least it created an Institute for European Studies. With a view to improving the university’s visibility both within Belgium and abroad, where the title ‘University Faculties’ may sometimes be misunderstood, in 2012 a request was submitted to the Minister for Higher Education, Jean-Claude Marcourt, to modify its official name. The ‘Decree on higher education and the organisation of academic study’, adopted on 7 November 2013 by the Parliament of the French Community, refers to our university’s new name, thus ushering out ‘The University Faculties’ and heralding a new beginning for Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles. In April 2014, another Decree with importance for Saint-Louis was adopted by the Parliament of the French Community. It stipulates that the first cycle (undergraduate) ‘Translators and Interpretors’ programme(s) offered by the Institut Libre Marie Haps, which currently comes under the responsibility of the Ecole Léonard de Vinci, will be transferred to the University of Saint-Louis at the start of the 2015-2016 academic year. These undergraduate programmes will form the basis of an entirely new Faculty that will join the 3 existing Faculties and the Institute of European Studies. The last two years have been characterised by the organising of new postgraduate courses: a Master in Strategy and Analysis of Interactive and Collaborative Communication, awarded jointly with the Institut Supérieur de Formation Sociale et de Communication (part of the Haute Ecole ICHEC - ISFSC), and a Master in Gender Studies co-organised by the six universities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. At the end of the 2016-2017 academic year, the university’s general assembly, by a majority of over 80% of the votes, adopted the blueprint for a merger with the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL), which is to come into effect after the amendment of the executive framework.
Freie Universität Berlin is a leading research institution. It is one of the German universities successful in all three funding lines in the federal and state Excellence Initiative, thereby receiving additional funding for its institutional future development strategy. Freie Universität also submitted proposals in the Excellence Strategy, the German government’s successor to the Excellence Initiative. As of January 2019, four research cluster projects are now being funded through the Excellence Strategy. The clusters are based on structures that were already successfully established within the Excellence Initiative. In the Excellence Strategy Freie Universität is working more closely with Humboldt-Universität and Technische Universität as well as with Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. These institutions applied together in the Universities of Excellence funding line. The university’s performance in the Excellence Initiative provided funding for several new graduate schools and transdisciplinary research clusters. In particular, the graduate schools play a key role in the development of internationally competitive research centers of excellence. Freie Universität Berlin has 16 academic departments and central institutes offering over 150 degree programs across a wide range of subjects.
University of Economics and Human Sciences in Warsaw
The University of Economisc and Human Sciences in Warsaw is one of the best-growing non-public universities in Poland. Thanks to obtaining further rights to award the doctoral degree on 30 September 2018, the institution was transformed into the University of Economics and Human Sciences in Warsaw. The educational offer at UEHS in Warsaw consists of Polish and English-language bachelor's, master's and long-cycle studies, post-graduate studies (including the elitist MBA) as well as language courses. The above forms of education are used by both Poles and a large group of foreign students whose number is gradually increasing. A well-chosen academic staff takes care of the high level of lecturing, whose efforts have been highly rated, among others in the rankings of Perspektywy and the "Rzeczpospolita" daily.
The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano was founded in 1997. Our university has a strong international outlook, as testified by its multilingual courses (German, Italian, English and Ladin) and the high number of students and teaching staff from abroad. Languages? An asset! The university has five faculties, and a high percentage of lecturers (35%) and students (17%) come from abroad and they study, teach and do research in the fields of Economics, Natural Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences, Education and Design. We have 4,100 students registered to more than 30 undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses. The taught modules on offer and our research projects are linked to international and inter-regional networks. For example, within the Euregio project, we are partnered with the universities of Innsbruck and Trento, and we are committed to reaching top quality standards. Our teaching and research programmes revolve around five faculties and two research centres: Faculty of Economics and Management Faculty of Education Faculty of Computer Science Faculty of Design and Art Faculty of Science and Technology Competence Centre for Regional History Languages? An asset! What makes unibz stand out among all universities, in Italy and in Europe, is the multilingualism of its courses and research. The three official languages - Italian, German and English - are used during classes, meetings, conferences and in all events. Thus, the university offers an ideal environment not only to acquire specific knowledge in the disciplines at the basis of each one's degree course, but also to master the communication skills required by employment and by an increasingly globalised society.

These are supported and enforced by ANVUR, the national agency that assesses how the Italian university system works and the quality of its research. For this reason, the Presidio di qualità (our quality assessment body), established by the Board of Directors, monitors our activities to make sure that the expected quality standards in the above mentioned aspects are met. This means that the members of our university community, during their activities, always have to bear in mind the quality goals we want to achieve Our strategy and three-year plan unibz is a public institution,but not a state university. In addition to its own financial means to fund teaching and research, the university receives its largest share of funding from the Provincia Autonoma of Bozen-Bolzano, the local metropolitan administrative body. The basis of its strategic development is described in the strategic and financial plan 2017-2019 between unibz and the Autonomous Province of Bozen-Bolzano. As a higher education institution governed by public law, unibz has its own performance plan that defines its goals in administration practice. As far as the quality standards for our degree courses and procedures to select our teaching staff are concerned, unibz adheres to the guidelines set by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). However, with our university being a private institution, we can also hire up to 70% of our lecturers from abroad without a public call.

University of Vienna, Department of Finance
The first chair in finance at the University of Vienna was established in 1991 with the appointment of Edwin O. Fischer at the Department of Business Administration. In 1993 Engelbert J. Dockner and Josef Zechner were appointed. Prof.Fischer left for the University of Graz in 2002. As part of the general restructuring process at the University of Vienna the Department of Finance was founded in January 2005. It consisted of the faculty members and administrative staff of three chairs in banking and finance and the chair in financial services and public utility management. It was also responsible for the management of the Gutmann Center for Portfolio Management. (See old website of the Department.) Due to fact that professors Dockner and Zechner left for the WU at the end of 2007 the department has been dissolved and the finance group was integrated in the Department of Business Studies. With the appointment of professors Lóránth and Gehrig in 2009 and 2010 the department has been reestablished in January 2011. The department's primary objectives are to be actively involved in the international scientific finance community, to produce excellent research and to translate research experiences into an innovative and well founded teaching. The Department of Finance offers courses in the international business program, the traditional business program, the economics program and the statistics program of the University of Vienna. With the academic year 2017/18 a specialized master's program in Banking and Finance has been established. Research of the faculty members covers topics like financial intermediaries, banking regulation, systemic risk, corporate finance and capital structure, risk management, portfolio-management, market microstructure and asset pricing in incomplete (international) financial markets. Teaching is differentiated according to the respective level. The Department offers courses, both on the bachelor’s and the master’s level, in the traditional business programme and the international business programme. These courses also serve as electives in the economics programmes and the statistics programmes of the University of Vienna. A new specialised master’s program in Banking and Finance started in the academic year 2017/18. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the portfolio management program. This program was established by Engelbert Dockner and Josef Zechner jointly with the ZZ Vermögensverwaltung in 1995. It gives students the opportunity to independently manage real portfolios and thus gain experience in applied portfolio and asset management. Additionally, members of the Department have also offered courses in the bachelor’s programme in Business Informatics and the teacher training programme in Geography and Economics. At the graduate level the members of the department are actively involved in the PhD education. Since the winter term 2005/ 06 the faculty members have been co-organizing the courses for the for the Vienna Graduate School of Finance (VGSF), a joint initiative of our Department, the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration and the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna. The VGSF is fully funded by the Austrian Science Fund and offers an excellent research oriented doctoral education with the help of internationally well respected visiting scholars.
The Forward College is governed by The Board of Trustees, The Academic Council and the President. The Team is organised into five operational groups which include Staff, Faculty, and Senior Advisors: The Bachelor in Business Leadership (BBL) Development Group The Academic Bachelors Development Group The Careers and Partnerships Group The Outreach, Admissions and Inclusion Group The Management Group The Founding Team Having worked in Government, major Tech companies, social business, and higher education in leadership positions, Boris and Leonor have witnessed how positive leadership relies not solely on expertise and rational thinking but also on other forms of intelligences: social, emotional, practical and technological. At the heart of their vision lies a desire to develop a more human and holistic model for higher education that is fit for the future of work and global challenges. VISION Resynchronising Higher Education Our times call for a switch towards a more positive and human model of leadership. This new leadership shall leverage all forms of human intelligences and skills: cognitive but also social, emotional, practical and technological. Blending tradition for excellence and innovation for relevance, FORWARD COLLEGE offers a unique programme designed for bright students who wish to bring about positive change. New Leadership Society and Businesses are evolving from hierarchical structures where leadership is about reaching positions of power into communities and networks where leadership is about engaging people for a shared purpose across areas of expertise, cultures, social backgrounds, and organisations. This engagement-based leadership reflects the changing aspirations of younger generations who wish to make change happen here and now, of employees wanting to feel engaged rather than “managed”, of citizens who seek to participate more actively in decision-making processes. Engagement-based leadership is relevant for business organisations that are increasingly decentralised, co-operative, and immersed in complex ecosystems. It is also more relevant for tackling highly complex challenges in areas including ecology, geo-politics, and economic inequality where top down approaches are proving ineffective. “MY BEST ADVICE: DEVELOP A REPUTATION OF EXCELLENCE IN THE THING THAT YOU WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR.” JEFFREY SAMPSON, FOUNDING MEMBER OF APPLE UNIVERSITY Based on All Human Intelligences Engagement-based leadership emphasises the central importance of human processes, requiring it to draw on the full range of Human Intelligences: “Training promising students into developing all of these Human Intelligences will nurture a powerful yet diverse set of values, beliefs, knowledge, and skills that are the key components of engagement-based leadership.”
Paderborn University is the University for the Information Society. Our strong foundation in computer science and its applications, as well as the importance of IT for a growing number of disciplines, are the pillars for this claim. But we want to achieve more: we want to contribute to the scientific and technical development of the information society, simultaneously critically reflecting these developments by taking into account the history, norms and values of our society. To achieve this, we need the spectrum from “hard” sciences to the arts and humanities to complement and learn from each other. Our mission includes a strong international and cultural presence, since the information society is decidedly global and should not remain a purely intellectual undertaking. Our university orchestra, our drama group, and more than 70 different sports, are some of the important university activities that help characterize academic life here in Paderborn. Our five faculties cover a broad range of courses of study in the arts and humanities, business studies, natural sciences, and engineering. We offer 63 degree programs at bachelor and master level. Additionally, teacher education programs play an important role in Paderborn. With over 20,300 students, 255 professors and a library that is open 350 days a year, our compact campus university provides a friendly, green, connected environment with excellent services for student life.

Since its founding 25 years ago, the University of Potsdam has excelled in research and teaching and is well positioned both on a national and international scale. Achieving this under consistently difficult economic conditions speaks for the quality and motivation of our professors, research, and administrative staff. Now it is essential to consolidate and extend this position. We want to play an active role among Germany’s leading research universities on a sustained basis. And, of course, we also want to take top positions in our areas of studies. This is the only way to attract the brightest and most-talented minds to Brandenburg and to offer them career perspectives. We are convinced that investments being made in research and teaching today will pay off for Brandenburg in the near future. This is why we actively engage in qualified training of skilled personnel that we urgently need and ensure a rapid translation of the latest scientific findings into practice. It is of particular concern to us to win strong political, economic, and social partners. When we report about our work here, we do not only want to inform you but also arouse your interest and show connecting factors which improve the density and stability of our network for education, science and knowledge transfer – to the benefit of Brandenburg.
