🎙️ What if, in a humanitarian crisis, access to reliable information were just as essential as food or shelter?

In the second episode of Research That Acts, Assistant Professor Liudmila Zavolokina explores how digital tools and AI can help refugees navigate unfamiliar legal, administrative and social systems.

But how can we design these technologies responsibly and build tools people can truly trust?

We are proud to share that our EMBA programme has been re-accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) for five years.

For those considering joining the HEC Lausanne Executive MBA, this means choosing a programme whose quality, relevance, and international recognition have been externally assessed and confirmed against high standards in postgraduate management education.

First accredited by AMBA in 2010, the HEC Lausanne Executive MBA remains part of a select group of international business programmes recognised for the quality of their executive education.

This achievement is also the result of a collective effort. A warm thank you to our alumni, participants, faculty members, company representatives, and partners who contributed to the re-accreditation process by sharing their experience, feedback, and perspectives.

We are also especially proud that the AMBA panel praised the Executive MBA team's dedication and professionalism. It is a recognition of their daily commitment to delivering a programme that meets high international standards, while caring for the people behind the experience.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this important milestone for the HEC Lausanne Executive MBA.
