Last week, our Director Stephanie Mullins-Wiles and PR Consultant Thomas Willis attended the 2026 @EFMDNews Deans Conference in Vienna. ✈️🎓 #EFMDdeans #EFMDdeans26

👏 As we close this year’s #EFMDdeans, sincere thanks to all participants for the openness, to our speakers and moderators for the quality of their contributions, to the Steering Committee for shaping the programme, to our host @wuvienna.bsky.social for warm hospitality, and to the EFMD team.

🔜 As 2030 approaches, the question is no longer “what do we promise?” but “what do we deliver?” Franzisca Weder speaks about communicating for impact and turning SDG commitments into local action. Moderated by Julia Bennell. #EFMDdeans

💬 The discussions continue with a shared thread: turning uncertainty into strategic advantage. From AI-enabled execution to deeper corporate collaboration and future scanning for 2030+, today’s conversations focus on how business schools stay relevant and responsible. #EFMDdeans

💡Parallel discussions underway at #EFMDdeans, focused on what it takes to reinvent the business school in today’s realities: operational AI, strategy under disruption, the next era of executive education, and equipping faculty for a shifting academic context.

💸 The global economy is still growing, but the foundations are shifting, demographics, climate pressures, goods trade moving into reverse, and power rebalancing toward new centres. These are the challenges business schools must meet through ethical leadership. #EFMDdeans

💫 Day 1 complete at the 2026 #EFMDdeans Conference. Great conversations, strong engagement, and the kind of peer exchange that helps Deans navigate new realities and make bold choices. Thank you, @wuvienna.bsky.social for hosting us so warmly.

🔀 When the context changes, leadership has to change too. Today’s breakout sessions focus on AI in learning, making tough strategic calls under financial pressure, the future of alumni engagement and philanthropy, and supporting refugee students in times of crisis. #EFMDdeans

🌪️ Wars, pandemics, climate shocks, geopolitical twists, universities do not get a quiet moment. Our opening plenary explores what global responsibility and academic freedom look like today, with Shalini Randeria in conversation with Julia Bennell. #EFMDdeans

Rupert Sausgruber, Rector at @wuvienna.bsky.social, welcomes Deans to Vienna 🇦🇹, sharing the local context and why this moment calls for bold choices in management education. #EFMDdeans

💫Julia Bennell chairs the 2026 #EFMDdeans Conference, connecting the threads across sessions, surfacing the questions that matter, and keeping the focus on decisions Deans can take back to their schools. "The topic of this conference is an invitation to think and act boldly."

☄️ Eric Cornuel, President of EFMD Global, opens the 2026 #EFMDdeans conference and sets the scene for two days of insight, challenge and collaboration around one question: how do we reinvent the business school? #EFMDdeans

A strategic start to the day with a snapshot of the EFMD Quality Services portfolio, where accreditations stand today and where we are heading next. EQUIS, EFMD Programme Accreditation, EDAF, BSIS, and CLIP, supporting schools in strengthening quality, impact and international relevance. #EFMDdeans

🪧Our exhibitors are here in Vienna and ready to connect with you. Stop by their booths during the conference to discover new ideas, tools and partnerships supporting business schools. #EFMDdeans

Good morning from Vienna! 🇦🇹 Final touches are in place at @wuvienna.bsky.social as we get ready to welcome Deans for the start of the 2026 #EFMDdeans Conference. A full programme ahead, and plenty of space for conversation and connection.
