FEB wants to develop a stimulating environment for staff and students, in which they
feel free to develop their innovative, ethical and entrepreneurial expertise in
education, research and business, whilst emphasizing the role of economic policy
and business in the greater society and keeping a global focus through international
exchanges and cooperation.
