Welcome to the next chapter of Business Education Jams - Welcome to WU!

As Rector of WU Vienna, it is my very pleasure to introduce you to the next session of this global series of Business Education Jams, a series of regionally focused dialogues on business education, the BEdJam: Austria 2018. Being the first Jam in Europe, this unique conversation brought together leading experts and deans to discuss the future of business education globally, and in Europe.

About 20 years after the Bologna-Declaration, where do we stand on our joint path to European Universities? How do we prepare our students to face the ever-changing demands of tomorrows Business World? What role will digitalization and life-long-learning play? How do we react to nationalist policies, how do we uphold the spirit of international collaboration and exchange? What kind of responsibility do we have towards our faculty, our students and society at large? How can we ensure that our values of academic freedom, freedom of speech, of research, of teaching transcends our classrooms and lecture halls? How can we disseminate our knowledge and values into society. And how do we ourselves need to change to meet tomorrows challenges?

These were some of the questions that we discussed with a group of leading HE-experts, Students, Business Representatives – and YOU.

Thank you all for your participation, your questions and comments!

Edeltraud Hanappi-Egger
