HEC Montréal is proud to announce its membership in the Academics Without Borders (AWB) Network, a consortium of Canadian post-secondary institutions supporting global development.
Through this membership, HEC Montréal faculty and staff will have privileged access to partnership opportunities offered by AWB, leveraging the organization's existing relationships with institutions and countries worldwide. Faculty members will also be able to propose projects to AWB in collaboration with their post-secondary partners in developing countries.
This membership will provide HEC Montréal with increased recognition for its international work, as well as new resources to support and coordinate these efforts. By building capacity at post-secondary institutions across the developing world, HEC Montréal and AWB aim to change lives both locally and internationally.
