SITE Renews Its Institutional Membership with CEEMAN

The Swiss Institute of Technology and Entrepreneurship is proud to announce the renewal of its institutional membership with CEEMAN — the Central and East European Management Development Association — one of the most influential networks in global management education.

This renewal is more than an administrative milestone. It is a deliberate reaffirmation of SITE's strategic direction: to be not just a Swiss institution, but a genuinely global one — connected to the sharpest minds, the most forward-thinking schools, and the most impactful conversations happening in management education today.

What CEEMAN represents

Founded in 1993, CEEMAN has grown into a network of over 200 institutions from more than 50 countries, united by a shared belief that management education must evolve — faster, deeper, and with greater relevance to the real challenges facing organizations in dynamic and transitional economies.

CEEMAN is not a passive membership club. It is an active community of deans, faculty, researchers, and institutional leaders who collectively push the boundaries of what business education can be. Membership means access to this conversation — and a seat at the table where the future of management education is being shaped.

Why this renewal matters for SITE

SITE was built on a single conviction: that the world needs a new kind of university — one that combines Swiss academic rigor with the speed, practicality, and ambition of the AI era. CEEMAN membership directly reinforces that mission.

Through this continued partnership, SITE gains:

• Access to CEEMAN's global network of leading business schools and academic institutions
• Participation in international conferences, case competitions, and faculty development initiatives
• A platform for collaborative research and knowledge exchange with institutions across Europe, Asia, and beyond
• Credibility and visibility within one of the most respected academic communities in management education
• Opportunities to co-develop programs, publications, and initiatives that shape global educational standards

What this means in practice

Membership is the foundation. What SITE builds on top of it is what matters.

In 2026, SITE is leveraging its CEEMAN partnership to actively support faculty participation in the CEEMAN Case Writing Competition — inviting educators to submit original teaching cases and gain international recognition. This is just one example of how SITE translates institutional membership into concrete opportunity for its community.

Going forward, SITE will continue to deepen its engagement with the CEEMAN network — through joint initiatives, faculty exchange, research collaboration, and a growing presence at international forums where management education is being reinvented.

Looking ahead

The renewal of this membership is a signal — to SITE's students, faculty, partners, and the broader academic community — that SITE is not standing still. Switzerland has long been a global hub for diplomacy, finance, and innovation. SITE is committed to making it a hub for the next generation of management education as well.

The Swiss Institute of Technology and Entrepreneurship looks forward to another year of collaboration, ambition, and shared growth within the CEEMAN community — and to the many opportunities that this partnership will continue to unlock.
