LSM Selected as Pilot Faculty for Circle U. Pedagogical Initiatives

Louvain School of Management (LSM) is proud to announce its selection as a pilot faculty alongside two other faculties at UCLouvain to spearhead new educational initiatives within the European university alliance, Circle U. 

We structured our project around three core objectives designed to enhance our international academic framework: 

• Expanding Double Degrees: Strengthening and developing our Double Degree offerings with partner universities across the alliance. 

• Innovating Education: Developing and promoting innovative teaching formats with a strong focus on "internationalisation at home," utilizing Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and similar setups. 

• Fostering Entrepreneurship: Building strong collaborations with business incubators and entrepreneurship support structures within Circle U. member universities. 

Significant Milestones in Double Degree Programmes 

We are thrilled to share that the objective regarding our Double Degree offerings is already well underway. In June 2026, we successfully concluded a new Double Degree agreement with the University of Pisa, focusing on Digital and Change Management. 

Following this success, our team traveled to Denmark in September 2026 to discuss the future of our existing Double Degree partnership with Aarhus University. While the programme is currently centered around Business Innovation, it will soon evolve to feature a specialised focus on Business Psychology. 

Strengthening Ties in Aarhus 

 The recent mission to Aarhus was highly productive. It provided an excellent opportunity for our team to meet with key stakeholders and consolidate our existing partnership while identifying exciting new avenues for collaboration. During the visit, our team engaged in strategic discussions with: 

• The Dean and the faculty management team 

• Circle U. representatives at both the faculty and central levels 

• Coordinators for Double Degrees, exchange programs, and Summer Schools 

These initiatives mark a significant step forward in our commitment to providing a truly global, innovative, and deeply connected educational experience for our students. 

Stay tuned for more updates as these exciting projects continue to develop!
