In this episode, we dive into the book Generative AI in Higher Education: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Together, we explore the promises, challenges, and complexities of integrating generative AI into academic environments.

Today, 1 September 2025, a new and exciting academic year began at EBS High School. At the opening ceremony, the Headmistress welcomed the school community, wishing everyone a good start, much strength, and perseverance. “You can already feel the autumn in the air – and in a way it’s good that the weather is rainy, as then coming to school doesn’t feel so sad,” she began cheerfully, emphasising that the regular morning rhythm and the time for learning had now returned.

On 29 August, Estonian Business School (EBS) launched the new academic year with a festive opening ceremony, centred on the inauguration and oath of office of Professor Meelis Kitsing as Rector. The ceremony brought together students, faculty, alumni, partners and distinguished guests in the EBS Assembly Hall.

At EBS, we believe in equipping the next generation of leaders with the tools to build not just profitable, but also sustainable and responsible ventures. Startups are at the forefront of innovation, yet they face a unique challenge: how to measure future environmental and social impact when there is no historical data to go by. 

Estonian Business School (EBS) is proud to welcome Bengt Holmström, Nobel Prize winning economist, Professor Emeritus at MIT, and EBS Honorary Doctor, for a lecture at the EBS Summer School on August 14, 2025. His talk will explore global financial landscape with particular focus on debt and the role of digital payments.  

From 11–13 August 2025, Dr Daniel Salamone, President of the National Scientific and Technological Research Council of Argentina (CONICET), will be visiting Estonia. The visit is taking place at the invitation of the Estonian Business School (EBS) and will include meetings with leaders in Estonia’s science and education sectors.

The Bachelor’s programme in International Business Administration at Estonian Business School (EBS) has become the first programme in Estonia to receive one of the world’s most prestigious quality recognitions — the EFMD Programme Accreditation — for a period of five years. EBS had previously been awarded the accreditation for three years, but this latest five-year confirmation reflects significant progress and the strong trust placed in the programme by the international evaluation committee.

Many of us reach a point in our professional lives when we ask ourselves, “Is this it?” The routine becomes too comfortable, growth stagnates, and the thought emerges that there might be something more. The desire to grow, to think on a larger scale, and to do something meaningful is not accidental. At such a moment, education becomes a strategic tool.

The year was 1988; the ideological directions were set, but one man, Madis Habakuk, envisioned a different future... For 35 years, EBS has been striving towards this alternative future every day. This remains crucial today, as we face changing expectations from people and society towards education. Education is and will always be the foundation upon which individuals can build a strong career and life.
