Solvay Missions

More than one hundred years ago, our founder Ernest Solvay, defined the school’s mission as follows:

 

“The mission of the Solvay Brussels School of  Economics & Management is to train men and women who are capable of selecting, initiating and managing.”

By and large, this mission remains unchanged. But it has now been extended :

 

“Our mission is to have a decisive and positive impact on how economic and business challenges are addressed.

With a strong emphasis on quantitative methods, we produce pioneering research and educate women and men to become true leaders and entrepreneurs in their field.”
