What is 1+1?

CEIBS launched the 1+1 Project, a series of lectures hosted by leading faculty across continents, in 2017. The audience for these invitation-only lectures comprises our alumni and friends of CEIBS. Each participant is encouraged to bring a ‘plus one’ who is also a qualified prospect for our MBA or Global EMBA programmes.

The core objectives of the 1+1 series are to further strengthen engagement with our international alumni and also provide attendees with the opportunity to play their part in helping to shape the future student bodies at CEIBS.
