European Foundation for Management Development
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) is a network association in the field of management development. As the largest in the world of its kind, the network covers over 600 institutional members and 12,000 management development professionals in over 70 countries across the globe. EFMD is responsible for giving EQUIS accreditation, a system for higher education institutions in management and business administration. Their mission is to "[act] as a catalyst to promote and enhance excellence in management development in Europe and worldwide."
Over the last ten years EFMD mainly focussed on 'management education', hence the majority of members being business schools and management centres.
