Executive Education COVID-19 Support and Resources

Last updated: 1 September 2021

As governments and organisations continue to grapple with the impact of COVID-19, we hope that our participants, students and wider community remain safe and well.

At INSEAD we are committed to proactively ensuring the health and well-being of our community. We have pulled together a COVID-19 Executive Education Updates page detailing measures to safeguard the health of our constituents as much as possible.

In light of the on-going evolution and impact of the virus you may be interested to learn about revisions made to our application policy to support your future development needs. Or discover our alternative learning solutions: INSEAD Online programmes and our new Live Virtual offers.

Safety and well-being of the INSEAD community

We have followed government measures extremely carefully, respecting quarantine directives and implementing temperature checks on our campuses. Whilst we continue to adhere to the directives laid out by governments and health authorities in our various countries of operation with the goal to secure our community, executive education programmes taking place on our Europe and Asia campuses and San Francisco Hub for Business Innovation have largely been transferred to either live virtual or blended delivery until the end of 2021.

In the meantime, we will continue to monitor the situation closely in the event that the future delivery of on-campus programmes continues to be impacted.
