The academic association of business schools EMBAC (Executive MBA Council) is an institution that helps leading schools exchange experiences and disseminate knowledge. The Kyiv-Mohyla Business School joined the global network EMBAC over four years ago, which allows kmbs, as a leader in management education, to be in a shared semantic field with top institutions, engaging in discussions and solving business education issues at an international level.

The annual Executive MBA Council conference took place from October 25-27. The association includes about two hundred business schools, meaning these conferences have a representative and effective format — a constructive conversation among experts about the current challenges in the field of management education.

Even from the formulation of topics in the conference program, it is clear that leading speakers, and thus the business education community, are reflecting on the concepts of "diversity" and "inclusivity." Most discussion topics emphasize how not to lose the subject in these processes. Behind the seemingly simple formulations of speeches lies the complexity and importance of such a task: "In Search of the Inner Hero: The Role of Psychological Capital for Mental Well-being" or "Approaching Tomorrow: What Students and Employers Want and What It Means for Business Schools," and so on.

A separate topic discussed at the conference was the role of business school alumni in communities and society, which means that the discussion was about the conditions and principles that form the community. Ultimately, the goal of institutions like EMBAC is primarily to strengthen the community.

The Kyiv-Mohyla Business School was represented at the EMBAC conference by Eduard Maltsev, Deputy Dean of kmbs.
