What is 1+1?
CEIBS launched the 1+1 Project, a series of lectures hosted by leading faculty across continents, in 2017. The audience for these invitation-only lectures comprises our alumni and friends of CEIBS. Each participant is encouraged to bring a ‘plus one’ who is also a qualified prospect for our MBA or Global EMBA programmes.
