Insead, which already has two campuses in France and Singapore, has opened a centre for executive education and research in Abu Dhabi School Dean Frank Brown commented, “Our presence in the Middle East will be a tremendous advantage to Insead. The knowledge we build there will contribute to enriching our teaching and research activities to the benefit of all our participants. Thanks to the centre, we have an opportunity to have a huge impact on a region that is so important to the rest of the world for many different reasons.”
The new centre will offer both company specific and open enrolment programmes for executives, with a focus on the Middle East. Its inauguration ceremony was held in September at the Emirates Palace Auditorium. His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan said: “INSEAD’s move into the GCC’s executive education and development sectors is a landmark development for the region’s local and expatriate business communities. It also serves as a vivid demonstration for the UAE’s growing importance as a global business centre, and is in line with Abu Dhabi’s vision of becoming an internationally recognised venue for higher education and cultural destination.”
INSEAD’s first open enrolment programme for the region will be the Managing People in the Middle East programme, in April 2008. The INSEAD Global Leadership Centre is planning a study on the leadership characteristics of successful women and executives in the Middle East. There will also be a focus on the area of healthcare, with a collaborative research programme which aims to health sector research and promote thought leadership and provide top-tier health sector management education.

Hello, I am interested in who at INSEAD is involved in this. I have worked in Dubai and hope to do more - I write case studies and did many for INSEAD.
