Run by internationally renowned professors from the best business schools around the world, IMTA represents a major European faculty development program. Since 2000, when it first started in Bled, it has been attended by over 500 management teachers from more than 150 universities and business schools from 43 countries in CEE and Western Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America, expanding its geographical reach every year.
From 8-20 June 2014, 39 participants from 22 countries (Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, Tanzania, and Ukraine) had a chance to acquire both general and discipline-specific (Strategic Management, Marketing, Leadership and Change Management, and Business in Society) skills.
“This world-class and innovative program is aimed at developing a new generation of management educators for a new generation of effective and responsible business leaders. It is designed around the multiple role of faculty, as we believe that a modern management educator should be a well-rounded person who is competent, skillful, and willing to effectively combine his/her teaching with research, consultancy, and institution building activities.” set out Milenko Gudić, Managing Director of IMTA.
Another important aspect of the program is networking and experience exchange with peers from all over the world. IMTA facilitates new friendships and professional connections resulting in new international partnerships, teaching exchange, and further professional development, supported also through the activities of the IMTA Alumni Association and CEEMAN. “Many IMTA alumni are now occupying leading positions in their institutions and are really making a difference”, says Milenko Gudić.
The next edition of IMTA is scheduled for 7-19 June 2015 in Bled.
