The International Seminar is the great multicultural meeting place for our 130 Master 1 students and 80 MAE students at IGR-IAE Rennes. A specific feature of this 2021 edition: a week entirely online, our speakers will lead their lectures and workshops from their home university or workplace.

Organized by Dr. Karine PICOT-COUPEY and Baptiste BAHU, this 16th edition will take place from January 18 to 22, 2021, with themes adapted to each of the majors of our Master 1 or MAE students.

Students benefit from the expertise of American or Canadian professors, and teaching methods imported from the universities in which they teach. In the previous editions, these professors were invited to spend the week in Rennes with our students. This year 2021, the exchanges will take place remotely.
