June 2022 - Burgundy School Of Business

The School of Wine hosts the annual AWBR international conference

From 5th to 8th July 2022 at BSB Dijon, special day for professionals on 5th July

For the first time, BSB and the School of Wine & Spirits Business (SWSB) will host the annual international conference of the AWBR (Academy of Wine Business Research) in Dijon, from 5th to 8th July 2022. This is the most important academic event dedicated to the wine business in the world. Nearly 100 international researchers will be present. The day of 5th July will be open to professionals, with three round tables on key themes (impact of Covid, industry engagement and sustainability).

Meeting of the best wine business researchers

From Europe, South Africa, Australia, Canada and the United States, 65 leading researchers will share their projects and research results on wine and the wine business at this new AWBR international conference.

This is a valuable event as traditionally academic wine research can be quite different in different regions: research either conducted at institutions located in renowned wine regions, or by researchers working at institutions located on the periphery of these major wine regions“, explains Steve Charters MW, a wine business professor at the SWSB. “The aim of this international scientific event is to bring together researchers so that they can carry out unique and innovative research projects in the wine and wine trade sector“.

Open day for professionals on 5th July

In order to forge links between the academic world and the sector, the day of 5th July will be open to professionals. The launch round table on the theme of “The world of Wine Business after Covid-19” (9.30-11.30 a.m.) will be a highlight of the day.

Two other round tables are also on the programme: “Industry engagement” (2pm-3.30pm) and “Wine and sustainability” (4pm-5.15pm).

France supports Ukrainian students

Entrance exams to Bachelor and Master degrees in Ukraine organised in France this summer

The Ukrainian Ministry of National Education has asked the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, as well as its European counterparts, to help organise the Bachelor and Master access tests (in the higher education system) for Ukrainian students in France.

These exams, which are required in Ukraine for entry to Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, should enable Ukrainian students to preserve their chances of being able to resume their studies in Ukraine as soon as possible, without losing a year.

The agreement in principle was immediately given, and the rectorates of the academic regions of Bordeaux, Marseille and Paris will thus set up three test centres hosted by higher education institutions, in accordance with the requests of the Ukrainian Ministry. The exam sessions will be conducted simultaneously in Ukraine and in the other countries.

For France, the tests will take place in Paris, Marseille and Bordeaux:

  • For the NMT (access to the Bachelor’s degree): 22 and 23 July; with a re-sit session on 17 August (registration closed on 7 June)
  • For the MTC (access to the Master’s degree): 10 August; with a re-sit session on 7 September: students are invited to confirm their registration between 27 June and 18 July

Therefore, each Ukrainian student who is concerned has to register as soon as possible to take the tests in one of the centres. All relevant information can be found in this document – in Ukrainian and English.
