As the CEMS alliance connues to expand across the globe, we are working to construct a sustainable future built upon the solid foundaon of our European roots and the original ideals of our founders. One of these ideals is to contribute to the development of future generaons of responsible global leaders. We purposefully expose our students to diversity and give them the tools to thrive in a variety of cultural sengs, with respect and empathy for others, fully enabled to deal with the complex business issues of our global economy. It makes sense, then, that we celebrate our roots in Brussels, Europe’s hub, as we build our organisaon into the future.

L S M !

Dear Members of the CEMS community, Dear Guests,

As Dean of the Louvain School of Management (LSM), I am honoured to welcome you here in Brussels for the 26th CEMS Annual Events.

This world summit represents an exceponal moment for LSM and its partners to highlight and share their experiences and achievements with the CEMS global network - 25 years aer becoming one of the founding member schools.

Louvain School of Management is a faculty of the Université catholique de Louvain – such an environment provides huge opportunies for interdisciplinary and mulcultural experiences. Established in 1425 and enrolling more than 30,000 students, our university is the oldest and biggest one in the French-speaking part of Belgium.

LSM focuses on “Educang Responsible Leaders for Sustainable World” – this is very in line with CEMS ethical and responsible global approach. We offer world-class courses and highly specialized opons based on advanced research. Our constant improvements to achieve excellence are acknowledged internaonally. We enjoy an EQUIS accreditaon and a nice ranking by the Financial Times. We get support from dedicated corporate sponsors – for these events but also for the daily work of our school. Please accept to thank them with me.

In the context of mulcultural sociees, business world and cizens, educang and training students to think with an open and global mind is a key mission for the CEMS business schools. The expansion of the Alliance with the recent adhesion of new leading business schools in Southern America and Asia certainly reinforces our ability to provide students with such skills. The economic stagnaon we are currently facing within the euro-zone also emphasizes how important responsible leadership and corporate responsibility are. LSM has therefore chosen as main theme for this year events: “Preparing future responsible leadership for a challenging global economy”.

Over the past few months, we enthusiascally prepared the 2014 CEMS events to make sure you would have the best possible Belgian experience. On behalf of the Louvain School of Management, I truly hope that you will enjoy it.

Prof. Michel De Wolf

Dean of the Louvain School of Management

Crowne Plaza Hotel Originally named “Le Palace”, this hotel was built in 1908 to welcome visitors to the Brussels 1910 World Fair. Designed in in the Art Nouveau style, the Hotel was built in under a year, a record me for the period. It has been totally refurbished from 2004 and 2008.

BNP Paribas Fors Headquarters BNP Paribas Fors has installed its Belgian Headquarters in a heritage building of the neoclassical style that contains several cultural and arsc gems, including the Kings’ Room (where the portraits of Belgium’s sovereigns hang), the Lorraine Room and the Tapestry Gallery (which display a number of imposing 18th century tapestries),

the Lobby (in which hangs a work by the Belgian neo-impressionist painter Franz Gailliard) and recepon rooms (where other artworks can be admired). The building is located 20 rue Royale, near the Royal Palace and the Parliament buildings.

Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium & the Magrie Museum The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium contain about 20,000 painngs, sculptures and drawings from the 15th to the 21st centuries. This jewel among Belgium’s cultural instuons is comprised of several enes, some of them being two centuries old. One of these enes is the Magrie Museum, which gathers an outstanding collecon of over 200 works of René Magrie. Painter, drasman, engraver, sculptor, photographer and film-maker, René Magrie (1898-1967) counts among the eminent arsts of the surrealist movement. He is considered as the most important Belgian painter of the 20th century.

Bozar The Brussels Centre for Fine Arts is the first cultural centre of its kind to be constructed in Europe. It was built in 1928 by Victor Horta, the architect and master of Art Nouveau. The building is a real architectural and arsc tour de force: Horta managed to piece together concert halls, exhibion spaces, and lecture rooms in one

harmonious whole, and this on eight levels that span a whole hill (the Mont des Arts/Kunstberg).

Square Square – Brussels Meeng Centre is housed in the extensive former Palais des Congrès, an elegant, architecturally significant building originally constructed for the 1958 World Expo. With its spectacular views over the Brussels skyline, SQUARE is somewhere to inspire the mind to greater heights and ambion.

Brussels, capital of the kingdom of Belgium is also the capital of Europe.

Despite its European dimension and despite all the different languages spoken on the corner of every street, Brussels is sll inspired by a very "village-like" spirit. Of course, it's well known for its Grand-Place, its Atomium, its Manneken-Pis, its Gueuze and its Kriek, its waffles and its chocolates. You'll discover a Brussels that's in the spirit of the mes, a capital that's relaxed and comfortable, as much in its history as in its present-day reality. Very fashionable. Very designer. Very creave. In other words, to put it in a nutshell, just relish Brussels, a fine and beauful city to explore and discover…

Brussels at the heart of Europe. Headquarters of the European Union and the North Atlanc Treaty Organizaon - N.A.T.O., Brussels is an internaonal financial centre and home to the European headquarters of over two thousand mulnaonals. Brussels offers high-calibre scienfic resources and has flexible economic infrastructures that have enabled it to keep pace with the great technological changes of the 21st century. The architecture in Brussels is diverse, and spans from the medieval construcons on the Grand Place to the postmodern buildings of the EU instuons. Main aracons include the Grand Place, since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Gothic town hall in the old centre, the St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral and the Royal Palace of Laeken with its large greenhouses. Another famous landmark is the Royal Palace. The Atomium is a symbolic 103-metre (338 ) tall structure that was built for the 1958 World's Fair. It consists of nine steel spheres connected by tubes, and forms a model of an iron crystal (specifically, a unit cell). The architect A. Waterkeyn devoted the building to science. Next to the Atomium is the Mini-Europe park with 1:25 scale maquees of famous buildings from across Europe. The Manneken Pis, a fountain containing a bronze sculpture of a urinang youth, is a tourist aracon and symbol of the city. Other landmarks include the Cinquantenaire park with its triumphal arch and nearby museums, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Brussels Stock Exchange, the Palace of Jusce and the buildings of EU instuons in the European Quarter.
