EBS Summer School
9–13 August 2027
Run as an international scenario planning workshop, the one-week programme brings together students, professionals, policymakers, academics, and speakers from all over the world to explore how digital transformation and sustainability will shape alternative futures.
Participants will examine the opportunities, challenges, and choices emerging at the intersection of these two major forces of change.
About the programme
Engaging lectures, interactive workshops, and collaborative capstone assignments allow participants to gain a deeper understanding of the global, national, and organisational dimensions of digitalisation and sustainability. The programme develops analytical thinking, teamwork, and decision-making skills, while equipping participants with practical tools to analyse future trends and communicate complex ideas clearly.
The programme has a strong record of attracting leading voices. Previous speakers have included Nobel Prize laureate in economics Bengt Holmström of MIT, former Prime Minister of Estonia Taavi Rõivas and the Governor of the Bank of Estonia, Madis Müller. Representatives of the Nordic Investment Bank, McKinsey, Milrem, PwC, Helmes, Sunly and Starship, among many others, have also shared their perspectives with participants.
Estonia provides a unique setting for these conversations. As one of Europe’s leading digital societies and startup ecosystems, it offers participants the opportunity to experience digitalisation and entrepreneurship in practice. EBS itself was ranked first among European business schools for startup creation efficiency in the Redstone University Startup Index, produced by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Trier.
Participation in the Summer School is available for a fee of €990 for applications submitted by 1 May 2027, increasing to €1,190 thereafter. The application deadline is 15 June 2027, with payment required by 1 July 2027 to secure a place. Upon successful completion of the programme, participants will receive 6 ECTS credits.
The full 2027 programme will be published in spring
