Highlights
Despite the recurring epidemic and travel restriction in 2021, the school developed more innovative online courses, and the entrepreneurship programs extended from STATION F to L’ Oréal and other companies. The China Office also created opportunities under constraints: the EMAC executive program was officially launched, the possibilities of new online customized courses were constantly explored in cooperation with companies, and various alumni activities continued.
The year 2021 did not become gloomy due to the epidemic, but presented us with lots of highlights thanks to our partners and alumni.
The opening ceremony of the EMAC joint executive program with Tsinghua AAD was officially launched on March 25 in Beijing. Eloïc Peyrache, Dean of HEC Paris, represented by Philippe Oster, Director of International Affairs, attended the event online and delivered welcome speech together with the Dean and profs of Tsinghua AAD. A total of 29 students were enrolled in the program. The course was delivered in different cities such as in Shanghai/Shenzhen/Beijing so as to get connected with the local cultural enterprises and resources.
The 2nd cohort of online course of “Reinvent Your Business” taught by HEC professor Laurence Lehmann Ortega, co-operated with SUSTech was launched on May 21, and completed on June 26, 2021.
