Five hundred fifty students from fourteen Global Network Schools will travel to one of fifteen destinations during the week of October 13 – 17, 2016 for Global Network Week. During weeklong modules, students will pursue intensive study alongside their colleagues from throughout the network, learning from top faculty and meeting local business leaders during company visits. Each participating school focuses on a specific topic or theme, leveraging their particular academic strengths and regional expertise.

Schools hosting a Week on their campus include: Asian Institute of Management, EGADE Business School, ESMT Berlin, FGV-EAESP, Fudan University School of Management, IE Business School, INCAE, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, Koç University, Lagos Business School, Pontificia Universidad Católica, Sauder School of Business UBC, UCD Smurfit, and Yale SOM.

In addition, five schools (Sauder School of Business, Haas School of Business, Yale School of Management, INCAE Business School, and FGV-EAESP) have partnered to offer a Global Network Week in Quito, Ecuador alongside the United Nations Habitat III Conference, a conference held once every 20 years to address problems associated with urbanization.

All participants in the weeks who are posting images or descriptions to social media are encouraged to use the hashtag #GNW2016.  Tagged items will be consolidated on the GNAM Tumblr.
