Doctoral Acceleration Week – May 2026

From May 27 to May 29, 2026, Geneva Business School will host the upcoming Doctoral Acceleration Week on its Geneva Campus, bringing together DBA candidates from both Geneva Business School and Business School Lausanne for the first time.

This joint edition marks an important step in the growing collaboration between the two institutions. By combining both DBA communities, the event creates a stronger academic and professional environment where candidates can exchange ideas, expand their networks, and benefit from a wider range of perspectives.

Over three days, participants will take part in plenary sessions, research workshops, thematic focus groups, and networking moments. The program will explore key topics such as business transformation, leadership, sustainability, digitalization, AI, research methods, and the development of literature reviews. Sessions will be led by faculty members and industry experts, helping candidates strengthen their research while connecting it to real business challenges.

Beyond the academic program, Doctoral Acceleration Week is also an opportunity for candidates to build meaningful connections with peers, professors, and professionals across the GBS and BSL doctoral communities.

This first combined edition reflects a shared commitment to academic excellence, applied research, and professional impact. It also highlights the value of collaboration between Geneva Business School and Business School Lausanne in creating richer learning experiences and stronger networks for doctoral candidates.
