Dear Vi friends,

I am pleased to forward the following academic opportunities from UNCTAD and Virtual Institute members in Slovenia and Morocco (français). I hope you find them of interest.

Vi Slovenian think tank member, the International Center for Promotion of Enterprises, will grant one merit-based scholarship covering the first year of the International Master's in Business Administration offered in cooperation with the Faculty of Economics of the University of Ljubljana.

Candidates must have a Bachelor's degree from a nationally accredited institution, at least three years of work experience, and proficiency in English.
