CEIBS Presidents have given a hint of what’s ahead for the school, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Yesterday in his opening address at the 2019 EFMD Conference for Deans & Directors General, President Li Mingjun told the audience, “As an international business school globally recognised and with operations in three continents, CEIBS is playing a more important role in bridging China with the world and telling China stories. Looking back and thinking ahead, we will try our best to maintain our ‘China Focus’ and achieve ‘Global Significance’.”

More than 300 decision makers from business schools around the world gathered in China’s economic hub for two days of talks aimed at clarifying and strengthening the role their institutions play, especially at a time when the world economic order is undergoing such dramatic change. They came together for the 2019 EFMD Conference for Deans & Directors General, hosted by China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) at its Shanghai Campus. This is the first time ever in the conference’s 46-year history it is being hosted outside Europe.
