BI – up for examination

From Feb. 9-11, BI Norwegian School of Management will be paid a visit by the EFMD’s EQUIS committee (European Quality Improvement System) for our accreditation renewal.

“This will be our third EQUIS review, and we are looking forward to receiving their feedback, both with regard to our strong points as well as where we have room for improvement,” says BI’s President Tom Colbjørnsen.

In the course of 15 meetings held over three days, the EQUIS committee will be meeting more than 90 people.

The EQUIS Committee:

Chairman Professor Eon van der Merwe Smit

Prof. Dr. Martin K. Welge

Director Jérôme Gueuginer

Professor Peter Moizer
