CEEMAN Champion Awards
CEEMAN Champion Awards 2024
At a time when many, if not most, CEEMAN member schools are not ranked by major ranking systems like the Financial Times, the CEEMAN Board has been looking for other ways to publicize widely the outstanding achievements of our member institutions and their faculty, management, and staff. Each year, starting in 2010, CEEMAN recognizes outstanding achievements of individuals from CEEMAN member institutions, in the categories of teaching, research, responsible management education, and institutional management.
CEEMAN Champion Awards are given exclusively to individuals from CEEMAN member institutions.
