Beyond this economic impact, the audit report showed the positive impact of MBS on the regional ecosystem. This is reflected in important joint research activities and educational partnerships with the Montpellier university complex. The participation of MBS in the development of local companies through work-study programmes (490 full-time equivalents made available in the region in 2016-2017) is also part of this dynamic. Finally, MBS has noted a strong commitment from many regional players who share its values of openness, diversity and equal opportunities.
““MBS is certainly one of the French business schools that has made the greatest efforts to promote diversity and support students and staff”, says the auditor and co-Director of BSIS. “” The players involved in the school carry out extraordinarily diverse actions for the benefit of the environment, people in difficulty, students and companies. MBS bases all of its actions on its core values.”
In accordance with Montpellier Business School’s mission, this report reflects the academic, economic, social and societal footprint that the school has fostered and developed in the region. The school’s strong local roots and its reputation allow it to significantly contribute to the region’s international influence.
