International Advisory Council

The Bocconi University International Advisory Council assists the Board in the definition of the University's international strategy. The Council brings together business leaders, policy makers and academics from Europe and the rest of the world. Its fundamental mission is to provide feedback on the projects proposed by the Rector and the Chief Executive Officer, to suggest new avenues for strategic development and to guide new thinking on the University's future.

The IAC consists of prominent international figures who convey their European and global vision to Bocconi. Joining global corporate managers and international academics are leading Italian managers who are active in the international aspects of their businesses. Four representatives of Bocconi University complete the membership of the International Advisory Council.
