Solvay Executive Master in International Association Management

Education. Solvay Executive Master in International Association Management resumes for the seventh year in April 2023. The objective of the 16-day executive master course is to enhance the leadership, strategic planning and management skills of Europe’s top association professionals and to highlight the best practices across the association sector. It is taught by Solvay academics and features regular interventions from prominent association executives sharing their insights and expertise.

“We bring together association leaders and challenge them to think differently about themselves, their people and the path forward. It is a discovery of new mindsets, tools and techniques that bring them an energy and confidence to lead change.” Susan West, Module Leadership & Change

The Executive Master is operated by the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management in cooperation with European Society of Association Executives (ESAE), the Union of International Associations (UIA), the Federation of European and International Associations (FAIB) and Visit Brussels. It is a unique platform for exploring the fundamental skills in key management areas with a special focus on the association executives' needs.

Ready for action? Initiated by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the 1 Million Youth Actions Challenge (1MYAC) aims at mobilizing youth (between 10 and 30 years old) from all over the world to implement concrete actions for a more sustainable future. The objective is to reach 1,000,000 youth actions. The Challenge was officially launched on 3 September 2021 at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille.

1MYAC focuses on the following four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address both climate change and the depletion of natural resources worldwide: SDG 6 on 'clean water and sanitation', SDG 12 on 'responsible consumption and production', SDG 13 on 'climate action' (climate change) and SDG 15 on 'life on land' (biodiversity).
