Values

Our mission

We inspire and support our stakeholders to achieve their full potential in value co-creation.​

Vision

To be a top-level internationally accredited community of lifelong learning and knowledge sharing. EBS uses and develops the most appropriate study methods and forms to achieve its students’ goals, based on its mission. EBS is a partner to public and private organisations in the development of new products, services and processes. EBS is a competence centre for developing the skills of its staff and teams and for enhancing their development-driven motivation.

Principles

The operations of EBS are guided by the following principles:

  • ethics;
  • social responsibility;
  • sustainability.

Core values of EBS

  • Independence. EBS values mobility, flexibility, experimentation, and partner selection based on its mission and vision. This is best achieved under the status of an independent, profitably operating university.
  • Cooperation. EBS values new knowledge created through cooperation and acts as a partner to society and businesses through its employees, students and alumni.
  • Competence. EBS regards competence as a decisive prerequisite for development and therefore engages in the development and communication of the knowledge that, in the long term, will be essential to society and organisations.
  • Creativity and inquisitiveness. EBS appreciates creativity and inquisitiveness as drivers of development. Educative failures are part of the development process.
  • Profitability. Profit is as important for a company as water is to a plant. Profit successfully amplifies the results of work done, encourages followers and provides resources for investments and experiments. EBS does not distribute its profits, but invests them in its development and reserves.
