The International Hellenic University has proceeded with the signing of a Collaboration Agreement with the professional services company Deloitte Greece. This collaboration will create an open channel of communication and exchange of views, ideas, and technical know-how between the two establishments.
The collaboration will provide, amongst other projects, the organization of common educational activities via workshop seminars, the development of collaborative research, activities within the framework of consultancy projects and students’ dissertations, the joint submission of proposals to national and international research and development programs, the exchange of views for the improvement and harmonization of the educational process with the modern demands of the job market and businesses. Its first action will be the launch of the Deloitte Business Seminar Series, a series of seminars delivered by Senior Deloitte’s Executives designated for Executive MBA students and graduates. These seminars will provide know-how and business best practices in topics such as consultancy, taxation, financial auditing, investment motivation, and governance.
