‘Nordic Forum is a splendid example of what makes up the CEMS spirit’, says Rita Järventie-Thesleff, Aalto CEMS Academic Director. ‘Already the group organising this have put in a whole year of determined and ambitious work. The event brings together CEMS students from different parts of the world to learn, engage with representatives from the business world, and meet each other. The event combines work and play in a splendid way’, Rita continues and thanks the students for their high quality and professional work that has also raised the profile of the Aalto University School of Business CEMS programme.
The event is organised annually on a rotating basis for the four Nordic CEMS universities, which are Aalto University, Copenhagen Business School, NHH – Norwegian School of Economics and Stockholm School of Economics.
