Master of Science (MSc) International Events Management

After a 3 or 4-year Degree

Presentation

To conduct change while being socially and environmentally responsible and sustainable, organisations are increasingly using social innovation methods which incorporate their various communities and stakeholders. These strategic methodologies can be activated by designing and delivering participatory experiences likely to engage people and foster collective intelligence. Be they live or digital, community stewardship and purpose-driven meetings and events might be powerful instruments for building and developing enhanced relationships with stakeholders. They also contribute to strengthening organisations’ capabilities to cooperate and co-innovate with them, and ultimately to secure their acceptability by civil societies.
