New Partnership: University of St.Gallen Joins ENGAGE.EU
ENGAGE.EU warmly welcomes the University of St.Gallen (HSG) to the alliance as a new associated partner. This new partnership was officially announced during the ENGAGE.EU annual conference, which took place from 22 to 24 October at Toulouse Capitole University.
“We are very happy to officially welcome the University of St.Gallen to our alliance as an associated partner,” ENGAGE.EU Secretary General Sabine Sainte-Rose stated. “The HSG shares our commitment to responsible leadership and sustainability and therefore strengthens our common mission to further expand excellence and innovation in research and education.”
The University of St.Gallen has long-standing academic collaborations with several ENGAGE.EU members, making joining the alliance a natural next step in strengthening shared objectives. Through joint efforts in research and teaching as well as interdisciplinary methods rooted in business, economics, and social sciences, ENGAGE.EU strives to drive innovation, promote sustainability, and ultimately have a positive impact on Europe. This mission aligns perfectly with the HSG’s vision, as emphasized by its President, Prof. Manuel Ammann:
“Today’s business students will become leaders in a world that has to tackle major challenges, such as climate change or social polarization. By joining ENGAGE.EU, the HSG is taking an important step towards realizing its vision of educating students to become responsible, entrepreneurial leaders who develop innovative and sustainable solutions.”
As part of this collaboration, the HSG will participate in ENGAGE.EU’s flagship program, the Joint Certificate in Global Sustainability Management (GSM). This study program combines the strengths of all participating universities and offers a research-based, international learning experience co-developed and co-taught by the schools that are part of the alliance.
The University of St.Gallen (HSG) is among Europe’s leading business universities. Internationality, practical relevance, and an interdisciplinary point of view have characterized education at the HSG ever since its establishment in 1898. Today, the university educates about 10,000 students from approximately 120 countries in business administration, economics, law and social sciences, international affairs and computer science.
