Nominations are sought for the members of the EQUIS Committee and the EQUIS Accreditation Board, of the EFMD Programme Accreditation Committee and the EFMD Programme Accreditation Board, and of the EDAF Committee. Members’ roles and responsibilities are further explained in the above links, as well as the expectations and commitment that membership in these bodies entails.

Applicants should meet the following experience requirements:

EQUIS Committee and EQUIS Accreditation Board

Academic members should be current or former Deans of well-reputed, preferably EQUIS-accredited business schools; corporate members should be current or former senior executives of well-known international companies, e.g. directors, senior managers, heads of corporate universities or HR directors. Successful entrepreneurs are also eligible.

Further Information

Candidates for EQUIS and EFMD Programme Accreditation bodies should belong to an institution that is a full member of EFMD. EDAF also accept candidates from non-member institutions.

Self-nominations (with the condition to be backed up by another member in the network) or nominations for another person from within or outside your organisation are acceptable. It is important that you seek prior approval of the person you are proposing before sending us your nominee.

The particular decision-making body to which the nomination applies should be clearly indicated. Nominations should be sent by email to Ms. Tereza Kminkova at tereza.kminkova@efmdglobal.org before 26 April 2025 and should include the full name of the candidate, position, name of the institution, e-mail address and biographical summary.

Potential members will be selected from among those nominated and appointed by the EFMD Board. Final results of the nomination process will be communicated following the EFMD and EFMD GN Annual General Assemblies on 2 June 2025.
