HEC Liège celebrates its 125th anniversary !
HEC Liège celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. Happy Birthday !
We are in the midst of our institution's anniversary period and are pleased to present some of the events we are offering as part of this.
"For 125 years, we have been able to develop and rely on an active community around the project of education, research and service to the environment in the field of economics and management in Liege. I am confident that this will also be the case in the future, so that together we will continue to be important actors of change in our society. There are many challenges, but that will not stop us from acting."
