The programme was developed by the FIA University team, alongside leading experts including Professors Karoline Strauss (ESSEC Business School), David Hassan (FIA University), Geoff Walters (Birckbeck, University of London), Gui Bodet (University of Lyon), and Dr Rui Biscaia (University of Bath), all of whom specialise in organisational governance, consumption and management.
FIA Secretary Generals Valerio Iachizzi and Jacob Bangsgaard, Director of Sustainability and D&I Sara Mariani and Dr Sven Beiker (Stanford University) also featured on the packed speaker lineup.
Attendees enjoyed the opportunity to network, connect with other leaders, and learn more about the FIA’s wider Member Club network, alongside the week’s sessions.
The FIA University aims to promote knowledge, research and training across the Federation. By collaborating with key stakeholders across the FIA’s network, it continues to expand and develop as an important aspect of FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s mission for the FIA.
