The MBA Program of the University of Cyprus proudly participated in the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP) entitled “ESG Investment and Finance: A Credible Path for Sustainable Investments and Projects”, which took place in Bilbao, Spain, from 15 to 19 June 2026.
Hosted by the University of Deusto, the program brought together MBA students from Cyprus, Croatia, Spain, and Poland, and created a dynamic international learning environment focused on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles and sustainable finance.
The program combined online preparatory sessions with an intensive week of face-to-face activities, lectures, workshops, case studies, and collaborative group projects. Participants explored a wide range of contemporary topics, including ESG investment portfolios, sustainable finance, regulatory frameworks, ethical banking, energy transition and decarbonisation, impact investing, venture philanthropy, fintech and ESG, corporate ESG reporting, and ESG risk management.
Throughout the week, students worked in multicultural teams, exchanging perspectives and experiences while developing practical solutions to real-world sustainability challenges. The program emphasized experiential learning, critical thinking, and international collaboration, enabling participants to strengthen both their academic knowledge and intercultural competencies. The University of Cyprus MBA students actively contributed to discussions and group projects, showcasing their academic excellence and commitment to responsible leadership. Their participation further reinforced the MBA Program’s strategic commitment to internationalisation, sustainability, and the development of globally minded business professionals.
The Erasmus+ BIP initiative offers students a unique opportunity to engage with peers and experts from across Europe, fostering international cooperation and promoting innovative approaches to contemporary business and societal challenges.
The University of Cyprus MBA Program remains committed to providing its students with high-quality international learning experiences that enhance their professional development and prepare them to lead responsibly in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
