EBS 35 Seminar
To celebrate EBS's 35th anniversary we're curating a heartfelt anniversary seminar, diving deep into the pivotal issues that shape our world: "Building The New: How Data, Information and Urban Design Shape our Community, Growth and Responsibility?"
"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." - Socrates
In a world increasingly influenced by the profound interplay of data, information, and urban design, Estonian Business School has embarked on a transformative journey. As we gather on the occasion of the institution’s anniversary, we reflect on how these elements coalesce to shape our community's future, foster sustainable growth, and uphold our collective inclusive responsibility to build the new.
The seminar is free of charge but requires registration.
