A reward for meaningful teaching projects!

Each year, the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management (SBS-EM) organises its « SBS-EM Teaching Awards », a manner to reward its pedagogical team of excellent professors and assistants, all of whom are committed to providing students with a quality education! Excellence, commitment, creativity and innovation: these are just some of the words that demonstrate their know-how.

Objectives of the SBS-EM Teaching Awards :

The SBS-EM Teaching Awards target teaching projects that are part of a collective approach or linked to the learning objectives of the teaching profiles of the different programs offered by SBS-EM. 

The SBS-EM Teaching Awards were created in order to :

  • encourage and highlight teaching initiatives that go in the direction of a collective approach and/or are linked to teaching profiles,
  • feed the teaching record of professors and teaching assistants with a formal recognition from the Faculty,
  • inspire academic and scientific staff and make them want to innovate and experiment.

Marjorie Gassner - Winner 2021 -"Lifetime Achievement"


Marjorie Gassner
Professeure de Mathématiques

« The "nomination" by the students for a "lifetime achievement award" is obviously pleasant, flattering and, above all, moving, but it also makes one realize that one is "at the end of the road", that most of one's achievements are behind one, that one is - a bit - old!
That said, it does provide a look back at how far he has come since the beginning of his career, including the evolution of his personal vision of teaching, adapting to changing technology and.... students."

Claudia Toma - Winner 2021 - "Senior Academic"


Claudia Toma
Professeure

"I was very touched by this nomination because for me, it means above all the growing interest of the students in the psychological and social aspects of management. It is also thanks to them, to their exchanges and ideas, that the course has been enriched over the years. I am confident that our future managers will know how to make diversity a real asset for organizations!"

Hugh Murphy - Winner 2021 - "Teaching Assistant"


Hugh Murphy
Professeur d'Anglais

"I am greatly touched and honoured to be nominated by the students and selected by the Jury for the 2021 SBS-EM Teaching Awards & Innovation Day because it’s an acknowledgement of the work done to engage the students on a regular basis and to foster autonomous learning during the pandemic."

Nadia Steils - Winner 2022 - "Pedagogical Innovation"


Nadia Steils
Associate Professor in Digital Marketing

It was with great emotion that I learned that I had been nominated for and received the Pedagogical Innovation 2022 award. Being nominated by the students is probably the most beautiful reward as a teacher, because it signifies the interest of the students for marketing management, but also the pedagogical interest of acquiring knowledge and applying their skills through innovative teaching practices. Obtaining this award also allowed me to share my practices and my pedagogical vision with the teaching community during the Innovation Day, and also represents a recognition for the work invested.

Laura Peralvo Maroto - Winner 2022 - "Teaching Assistant"


Laura Peralvo Maroto
PhD Student ECARES
