MBA NETWORKING AND GRENOBLE DISCOVERY WEEK
GEM MBA students are invited to attend this week-long session in Grenoble, enabling students from campuses in Grenoble, Moscow, and Tbilisi to come together to network and attend seminars and conferences on key management issues. The week includes company visits, networking events, and an alumni evening.
