INSEAD inaugurated its Centre for Executive Education and Research in Abu Dhabi on 12 September 2007. Attracted by Abu Dhabi’s international outlook and vibrant business community, this important step underscores INSEAD’s vision as ‘The Business School for the World’ bringing together people, cultures and ideas from around the world. It is also a reflection of the United Arab Emirates growing importance as a global business centre, and Abu Dhabi’s vision to be an internationally recognised venue for higher education.

In Executive Education, INSEAD offers both company-specific and open-enrolment programmes, with a flavour of the Middle East.

INSEAD offers five open-enrolment executive programmes in 2008/2009 including: Negotiation Dynamics, Achieving Outstanding Performance, Mastering Alternative Investments and Learning to Lead.

We are also offering one of three modules for our International Executive Programme in Abu Dhabi, with the other modules in Fontainebleau and Singapore.  For more information on these programmes, please click here.

INSEAD’s centre in Abu Dhabi was also established to better understand and contribute to the development of the region through in-depth research of important business topics of both regional and global interest. Led by INSEAD’s world class faculty, applied research initiatives will therefore be undertaken in several areas including: women and leadership, healthcare and human resources management and humanitarian logistics.
