The University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business earlier this month announced its strategic Asia Initiative at Darden, part of the school’s continuing investment in globalization.
The initiative will try to advance the understanding of the dynamics of Asian markets as a critical component of business education. It's also to try to attract more students.
The Asia Initiative has a three-year charter, but the school hopes to expand it into a lasting research center to complement the work of Darden’s existing research Centers of Excellence, such as its Center for Global Initiatives.
The University of Virginia celebrated the opening of its new office in Shanghai on March 6th and 7th, hosting a conference on Chinese urbanization. Dean Bruner and other leading officials from Darden then traveled to India to meet with academic and corporate partners.
Later this spring, on May 8th, the Darden School will partner with Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Antai College of Economics and Management to host the Shanghai Investing Summit, which will examine the latest trends and opportunities in cross-border investing.
