Mission, vision and values

Following on the faculty's mission, FEB also created a vision. In the domain of Economics and Business, we aim to:

• conduct high-quality research in the main fields within economics and business
• exchange state-of-the art knowledge with students and provide excellent education
• develop the relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes of students to prepare them for their future careers
• have a strong positive impact on science, society and business
• have an open, inspiring, honest, inclusive, diverse and safe working and study environment
• have an international focus embedded within our regional context.

The following core values play an important role in our organizational culture:

• Engaged: We aim to be easily accessible and actively engaged with regional, national and international communities, learning about their needs and strengths, and applying impactful knowledge for the benefit of our academic aspirations and our society at large.
• Ambitious: We empower students, academics, professionals and external stakeholders to unleash their potential and to make a difference to the communities we are connected to. At the same time, as top 1% of business schools worldwide with both EQUIS and AACSB accreditations, we stimulate our staff, students and alumni to aim high and strive for the best.
• Personal: We debate and cooperate closely with each other as co-producers in a way that is inclusive and individual. We value a personal approach built on trust, mutual respect and social responsibility.
• Down-to-earth: We share sound practical and realistic attitudes.

To enhance our impact on emerging societal, economic and business challenges, we have defined five socially relevant themes:

• Healthy Society
• Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence
• Leadership and Governance
• Future Prosperity and Sustainability
• Energy Transition and Climate Change

These themes are embedded in the contents and outcomes of our education, research and collaborations.
