The January 2019 issue opens with trilingual new year wishes, in French, English and German, from the management team of the Business Science Institute, its 35 doctors, 120 doctoral student-managers and 114 professors, alongside the reminder that fifteen books have been published in four years. The main news concerns the EFMD: the Membership Review Committee, meeting in Brussels on 5 December, voted unanimously in favour of the institute's application for full membership of the European Foundation for Management Development, a decision to be officially announced at the EFMD annual general conference in Lisbon on 6 June 2019. Based in Brussels with offices in Asia and the Americas, the EFMD is an international not-for-profit organisation of business schools and companies representing more than 600 academic institutions in 83 countries, a unique network for sharing information, promoting research, providing connections and encouraging debate on innovation and best practice in management development, and a globally renowned accreditation body. The issue continues with the agenda of the cohorts, photo highlights, the presentation of a new member of the Academic Council, news of the distance Executive DBA, a zoom, the preparation of the Wiltz week, publications, a video and management research news. The edition closes with a reminder of the institute's growth across its campuses in Europe, Africa and beyond.
