Dr Kelmali contributes to research presented at two international conferences
In September 2026 Dr Eirini Kelmali, Assistant Professor at our Humanities Department, contributed to research shared at two international scientific conferences, exploring issues of well-being, inclusion and communication from interdisciplinary perspectives. At the Global Health Workforce – Barcelona event, research to which Dr Kelmali contributed was presented by Dr Sibel Kıran of Koç University as part of an ICOH cross-committee initiative. The presentation, “Women at Work in Global Health: Psychosocial Risks and Mental Well-being in a Changing World of Work – An Equity Lens on the Distribution of Risk, Resources and Recovery,” examines how psychosocial risks, resources and opportunities for recovery are unequally distributed among working women in changing work environments, including remote and hybrid work. The research draws on data from R-MAP, a Horizon Europe project in which SEERC is a partner, and builds on Dr Kelmali’s ongoing collaboration with Koç University. In Thessaloniki, Dr Kelmali presented her own research at the 1st Scientific Meeting of the Interdisciplinary Audiology Society (INAUS). Her presentation focused on speech perception in noise among autistic individuals, highlighting the challenges of understanding speech in everyday environments such as classrooms, workplaces and social settings. The talk also demonstrated the value of bringing together linguistics, audiology and neurodiversity research to better understand complex questions around communication and inclusion. Dr Kelmali’s research contributions reflect her ongoing engagement in international knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration and the sharing of research expertise across academic communities.

Postgraduate student takes part in International Summer School in Kazakhstan
Global experiences: Our student Nikolaos Karamousalidis, attending the MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science programme, participated in the 7-day intensive Summer School organised by the Kazakh-American University, titled “Future Diplomacy: International Relations in the Digital Age.” Nikos said about his experience: “The programme exceeded my expectations in every respect. The organisation was outstanding, allowing us to focus entirely on the experience, while the academic programme struck the perfect balance between intellectual challenge and enjoyment. Beyond the lectures, the opportunity to connect with students from different countries and cultures was the most rewarding aspect of the week. The friendships we built and the exchange of ideas and perspectives made the experience truly unforgettable and just as valuable as the academic learning itself.” The University of York Europe Campus is committed to providing strong international opportunities through its global network, fostering both academic growth and personal development. This participation is another strong example of our students expanding their horizons beyond European borders and engaging in transformative global experiences.

Pan-European Executive MBA Annual Study Week at the University of Strasbourg
An exciting learning and networking opportunity for MBA participants from all countries Executive MBA students from across the Pan-European Executive MBA network came together at the University of Strasbourg, France, for an intensive international study module hosted by the Faculty of Economics and Management. Located at the crossroads of France, Germany and the wider Rhine region, the University of Strasbourg provides a particularly distinctive setting for the programme. With a history dating back to 1538 and a community of more than 50,000 students, the University combines a strong international academic tradition with close links to European institutions and cross-border cooperation. Strasbourg itself is home to the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights and the European Parliament, creating a unique environment in which management education can be connected with wider European economic, institutional and societal issues. At the centre of the Study Module was Open Collaboration Tools for European Business and Sustainable Society, led by Professor Thierry Burger-Helmchen. The module examines how organisations can move beyond traditional organisational boundaries and collaborate effectively with businesses, customers, suppliers, public institutions, universities and wider society. Particular emphasis is placed on open innovation, open strategy, organisational resilience, sustainability, intellectual property and the creation of long-term value through collaboration. The learning experience was deliberately highly interactive, combining plenary lectures, small-group workshops, case discussions, simulations and an institutional visit. Students worked in different groups throughout the module, encouraging the exchange of ideas and professional perspectives between participants from different national and professional backgrounds. The programme moved progressively from open collaboration and innovation to strategic decision-making under crisis conditions, sustainability, European institutions and managerial behaviour. Participants explored how organisations respond when established assumptions and resources are disrupted and how resilience can involve not only recovering from crises, but also anticipating change, adapting organisational structures and maintaining essential activities in turbulent environments. A particularly experiential part of the programme focused on extreme events, strategic decision-making and organisational resilience, led by Professor Emmanuel Muller and the R-SQUAD. Students worked in teams representing the leadership of an international company facing a major crisis, using simulation to develop their strategic and managerial decision-making skills under challenging conditions. The Study Module also extended learning beyond the classroom through a visit to the Council of Europe, allowing participants to connect their discussions on business, sustainability and organisational decision-making with the broader European institutional environment. The location of the University also offered participants the opportunity to experience Strasbourg’s wider European setting, with the European Parliament and other major European institutions nearby. Another important component examined Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainable innovation, considering how organisations around the world are responding to major environmental and societal challenges. Students worked with real cases and discussed how sustainability can become part of corporate innovation and international strategy rather than remaining separate from core business decision-making. The final part of the programme brought many of these themes together through sessions on self-theories, negotiation and performance appraisal, followed by a competitive firm simulation. Working as management teams, students assumed different executive responsibilities, analysed markets and made coordinated financial, commercial, production and strategic decisions while competing with other simulated companies. The module was delivered by an international teaching team including Professor Thierry Burger-Helmchen, Dr Antoine Bureth, Professor Julien Pénin, Professor Marion Neukam, Professor Emmanuel Muller and the R-SQUAD, Lise Martins Nourry, Dr André Schmitt and Professor Véronique Schaeffer, bringing together expertise spanning innovation, strategy, economics, sustainability, resilience and organisational behaviour. Overall, the Strasbourg Study Module reflected one of the defining characteristics of the Pan-European Executive MBA: bringing executives from different countries and professional backgrounds together to learn through academic insight, practical application and international exchange. By combining management education with simulations, collaborative workshops and direct exposure to Strasbourg’s European institutional environment, the experience encouraged participants to examine business decisions not only from an organisational perspective, but also within their broader economic, societal and European context.

Participants from across Europe and beyond gathered in York, UK for an intensive week of academic learning, networking and professional development. Students attending the Pan-European Executive MBA came together at the University of York for this year's York UK Study Week, one of the programme's most significant academic and networking milestones. Bringing together participants from the programme's different locations, including Thessaloniki, Belgrade, Bucharest, Baku, Yerevan and the Online cohort, the Study Week offered a unique opportunity for students to learn, collaborate and connect as one international MBA community. Delivered over two weeks to accommodate the full cohort, the Study Week welcomed students from diverse professional backgrounds, industries and cultures. For many participants, it was the first opportunity to meet their classmates in person, strengthening the relationships developed throughout the programme and reinforcing the truly international character of the Pan-European Executive MBA. The academic programme centred on the Corporate Financial Management module, delivered by Professor John Ashton, Dr Agnieszka Trzeciakiewicz and Professor Mark Rhodes from the University of York's School for Business and Society. Through lectures, discussions and case studies, students explored contemporary issues in corporate finance, including investment and financing decisions, risk management, corporate growth, financial sustainability and strategic planning, while examining how financial management supports effective decision-making in today's business environment.

Beyond the classroom, participants had the opportunity to experience life at the University of York, explore the city's rich history and take part in a range of social and networking activities. These informal interactions are an important part of the Study Week experience, enabling students to build lasting professional relationships and expand their international networks. The York Study Week remains one of the defining experiences of the first year of the Pan-European Executive MBA, combining academic excellence, practical learning and international collaboration in the inspiring setting of the University of York.
