IE and AIESEC entered into cooperation in April. 2008.
The partnership established the IE - AIESEC Scholarship Program
which is offered by IE and its respective foundation and comprises of two scholarships for members
of AIESEC. The first scholarship recipients - Shannon Bengston and Tamer Zikry already started
their masters programs with IE in Madrid. Due to the high quality of the applications received IE
offered additional support to another two candidates for their master studies with IE.
IE has also been interacting with the AIESEC membership globally
through various tools on the AIESEC internal information system. The business school organized
virtual classes for AIESEC members wishing to know more about the opportunities of post graduate
education. AIESEC members have been receiving special invitations to attend IE events
locally.
The world renowned university has been interacting with AEISEC youth
directly through delivering issue-based workshops and sessions at key regional and global
conferences. IE representatives facilitated workshops around social innovation during the AIESEC
European Regional Conference 2008 in Saint Petersburg, Russia and at the Iberoamercia Leadership
Congress 2008 in Barcelona, Spain.
IE faculty has been involved in the agenda development and
facilitation of the AIESEC's Global 60th Anniversary Event during the International Congress 2008
in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The event was attended by nearly 1000 people – AISEC alumni, current
members and partner organizations to mark 60 years of activating youth leadership. A team of IE
took part in the whole process of development – through active involvement in the concept
development, facilitation, delivering key note speech and workshops.
Both organizations are looking forward to their second year of
partnership to explore even more opportunities of working together and shaping today the leaders of
