Dear colleagues,
it is our pleasure to inform you that applications are now open for the Spring 2017 Session of the Henley International Business Masterclasses. This session will consist of set of three masterclasses and these will run between 27 March 2017 and 5 April 2017 as specified below. 


International Business, Development and Policy by Rajneesh Narula, 27-28 March 2017.
International Business, Innovation and Geography by Davide Castellani and Grazia D. Santangelo, 29-31 March 2017. 
Long Run Developments of International Business Theory by Marina Papanasstasiou and Bob Pearce, 3-5 April 2017.
Please see the preliminary syllabi at http://www.henley.ac.uk/school/page/international-business-masterclasses/ <http://www.henley.ac.uk/school/page/international-business-masterclasses/> for more information on contents and schedule of the courses.

The masterclasses are offered to PhD students, post-doctoral and early career researchers. Besides offering world-class training on conceptual issues and current debates in a particular aspect of IB, they provide networking opportunities and allow developing global partnerships.

The number of participants is strictly limited to 30 students per masterclass.

Participants can either attend as formally enrolled students or as non-enrolled attendees. The first option will provide formal recognition in the form of credits. Participants will be awarded 10 credits per module, an equivalent of 5 ECTS credits, upon the positive evaluation of coursework and payment of a tuition fee (£230 for Home/EU students and £460 for Overseas students per module). The second option is free of tuition charges and will be non-credit bearing (participants will only receive a certificate of attendance). 

A limited number of very competitive scholarships is generously offered from the Alan Rugman Memorial Fund.
