Who we are

The Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management (SBS-EM) was created in 1903 by Ernest Solvay, a well-known humanist, and captain of industry. Today, the School is proud to be part of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), which now has among its faculties a high-quality faculty dedicated to Economics and Management.

As always, SBS-EM honors the main goals set by its founders, namely: training leaders who aspire to the ‘Homo Universalis’ ideal, highlighting through its programs the necessity of having a multi-disciplinary perspective, and focusing on quantitative and scientific approaches.

The School also shares common values with ULB, especially the principle of free inquiry, an approach based on critical thinking, and a focus on research.

The Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management is well-known for its strict and demanding education system, focusing on excellence at every level. This vision and mindset, as its highly international alumni network, enable the School to train the leaders of tomorrow’s society.

Mission

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 fields.

Vision

To be a top European School of economics and management integrated into a research-based university, combining a unique blend of scientific rigor, contextual engagement, and problem-solving skills with an ambitious global reach.

Values

The SBS-EM nurtures certain core values, which constitute the foundation for its education and research missions. They also inspire its philosophy in terms of internal governance, strategic planning, and pedagogical methods.

  • Free inquiry: We challenge our students and stakeholders to open their minds to a wide range of perspectives and adopt a critical attitude.
  • Excellence: We all strive towards the highest standards of performance.
  • Entrepreneurial spirit: We expect all our stakeholders to demonstrate initiative, innovations, and leadership.
  • Multidisciplinarity: We build on a full blend of university disciplines and our expertise in economics and management.
  • Equal opportunity: We provide access to students from all socio-economic backgrounds.
  • Democratic governance: Practitioners, academics, researchers, students, and staff all have a voice in our governance.
  • Societal relevance: We nurture a long tradition of corporate social responsibility, ethics, and diversity in public institutions and the business world.

The Solvay Brussels School: an international perspective

Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, located in the cosmopolitan heart of Belgium and Europe, has been an international school from its very inception. Our international reach and recognition are tightly linked with our international network of stakeholders, whose members we consider to be true partners in co-creation. Our outstanding and internationally accredited research and education programs are made possible by, and intended for, these partners.

As a School and University, we are committed to creating societal value and contributing to global prosperity. Prosperity for all: solidarity, equity, and freedom in an open, global, and diverse society.

International stakeholders refer to our students, alumni, administrative staff, and professors who are from outside Belgium. Our objective is to increase the internationalization rate of these stakeholders, which is already relatively high when compared to global standards. More than 20% of our students are from abroad, but this ratio is much higher for the MBAs, Ph.D. programs, and Master in Microfinance, where at least 60% of students come from abroad. In addition, 35% of the faculty and 50% of our administrative staff are from abroad.

Having international and multicultural stakeholders is a necessary condition for an institution that aims to reach international quality standards.

Internationalization is at the core of our school’s vision and mission. From Brussels, you can travel in under 2 hours to Paris, Amsterdam, and Cologne and in a little over two hours you can be in London. The internationalization strategy of the school is based on three pillars: international stakeholders, the global reach of our students, and international visibility. Through compulsory exchange programs with 140 partners all over the world, three double degrees, and credited internships we secure the global reach of our students.

Since 1990 our students have had the opportunity to go abroad as part of a developed international exchange program. Each year, between 300-350 students go abroad and over 150 students come to Brussels. Exchange agreements have been signed with more than 140 universities and business schools in 40 countries. The exchange program allows students to develop their capacity to adapt to new environments, learn about different academic systems and study specific subjects, develop their language skills and broaden their horizons and learn about new cultures and lifestyles.

Why Brussels?

When asked about Brussels, many people will tell you the same thing: it is small. This is the Brussels paradox in a nutshell. A triple capital (of Europe, Belgium, and the Flanders region), home to both NATO and the EU headquarters, the European base for a large number of international corporations (including more than 1,000 just from the United States), with a population of more than 300,000 ex-pats, an incredibly cosmopolitan environment… And yet, Brussels remains a very relaxed and laid-back town that manages to keep its human scale.

Ripe with all the facilities and entertainment you would expect from a capital city, from hotels, bars, and restaurants to museums and famous monuments, Brussels is still easy to get around. Outside rush hour, you can cross the city in just 20 minutes. The city center itself is easily walkable. Last but not least, the city’s green spaces (parks - woods - forests) account for 13.8% of its surface.

Historically anchored in the heart of this great metropolis, the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management leverages the city’s geostrategic strengths to enable its students to become true international professionals with a high potential for networking.

Research at the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management

Outstanding international research is crucial for SBS-EM. Not only because it develops our understanding of economic and management phenomena—which subsequently enables hands-on research that strives to improve business and public practices—, but also because it feeds back into our classrooms as it encourages our faculty members to infuse valuable new findings and methods into their teaching. A prime example of the latter is our two successful Ph.D. programs (one in Economics and one in Management) that provide doctoral students with the latest tools enabling them to contribute to the research frontier in their fields of specialization.

Our faculty has received wide international recognition for its research. Our faculty members include a winner of the Francqui prize (the ‘Belgian Nobel Prize’), a laureate of the Yrjö Jahnsson award, two fellows from the Econometric Society, eight former Francqui chairs, an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and more. Our school has also received numerous competitive grants, including six from the European Research Council.

In addition to these prestigious academic awards, the expertise of our faculty members is also recognized in practice, as evidenced by the many expert positions that our faculty members hold, including, in Belgium, with the Higher Council of Statistics, the Index Commission, Infrabel, and the Belgian Corporate Governance Committee, as well as with the OECD, the European Commission, the European Economic, and Social Committee, and OXERA in Europe. Our faculty members are also regularly called upon to consult with different companies and public administrations.
