Sharing Best Practice Sessions: Partnerships
B1 The Nova Case: Partnering with business
A brief overview of the story of the fundraising campaign, main KPI’s and communication.

  • Marta Assunção, Head of Communications, Nova School of Business & Economics, PT

B2 What is the local impact of international partnerships?
Local stakeholders are often dubious about the impact of international partnerships on the Business School’s local or national impact zone. Yet, based on the experience of business schools involved in impact assessment, we know that international partnerships, but also international implantation of campuses, have a significative impact on local or national economy.
The aim of the workshop will be, based on testimonies of Deans, to identify this impact, and in doing so, help business schools to convince their stakeholders of the importance and relevance of international partnership and strategies.
