Advisory Board

Advisory Board on Transforming Business Education

As part of the initiative launched with Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy, HE4G has created an international Advisory Board on Transforming Higher Education, starting with Business Education.

Building on the insights of Youth Talks, the Advisory Board helps the Foundation reflect on how business education can better respond to the aspirations of younger generations and to the major social, environmental and human challenges of our time.

It provides perspective, legitimacy and guidance. Its ambition is not to impose a single model, but to identify credible levers for change, promising initiatives and practical ways to support transformation across institutions, networks and regions. The Board meets up to three times a year.

First meeting — Geneva, 30 September 2026

Hosted by Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy, the inaugural meeting brought members together around one question: how can higher education, starting with business education, better prepare young people for human flourishing, responsible leadership and living together across cultures?

Discussions explored the Youth Talks findings, the purpose of business education, the role of educators and human-centred education in the age of AI. Several ideas emerged for future prototypes, which HE4G will develop for the next Advisory Board meeting in early 2027.
