Flipped Classroom
Classroom time is dedicated to high-impact discussions, real-world application, and collaborative problem-solving. The result: increased participation and deeper learning throughout every session.
Active Learning
Participants are at the heart of the learning journey. Through lively discussions, simulations, debates, and peer learning, active participation becomes second nature. This approach strengthens critical thinking, deepens understanding, and builds lasting knowledge.
Authentic Assessment
Assessments reflect the challenges encountered in real-world business settings. Whether developing a strategic plan, navigating a simulation, reflecting on personal leadership practice, or delivering a persuasive presentation, each task is designed to test practical application, not just knowledge.

"After almost 3 years in a managerial position within an association, I was looking to learn something new but also gather feedback on my way of working and identify ways of doing things better. The EMIAM provided the perfect fit with my professional situation. Our association is relatively small in size and I am involved in a large number of projects therein, from governance to finance, as well as in event organisation. The programme successfully covers all these bases in a truly comprehensive manner.”

Chief Executive

"Having attended this programme has helped me realise the theory behind the decisions that I need to make as Chief Executive of an international organisation. It has also provided me with the tools to reflect on the options I have when I need to make certain decisions. I have learnt to better understand how we all behave in times of change in leadership and management. "
Loredana Simulescu
Executive Manager
Biomedical Alliance in Europe
"Thanks to the Executive Programme in International Association Management, I learned and put in practice key theoretical concepts which make the foundation of a strong management of associations. The case studies covering important topics offered me the possibility to transfer the knowledge into my daily work. Also, the programme is a unique opportunity to meet peers and build strong connections with leaders from various disciplines and sectors in the world of nonprofit associations.”
