Testimonials
Lorenzo Girola
The INSEAD Summer School gave me the right insights as to what I envision for my career, and gave me an even stronger discipline to face multiple challenges.
Johanna Schmucker
What I gained from the experience is the realisation that a global orientation and a cultural openness is nowadays essential and that both open up many new opportunities.
Hendrik Brenn
Overall, I would describe the INSEAD Summer School as a work-hard and play-hard experience.
