Since 2000, over 10000 delegates from 56 countries have visited EBA forums, hundreds of innovative projects have been presented, specialized working meetings for experience sharing and negotiations have been conducted, as well as networking events for higher educational institutions rectors. This is a VIP platform for your ideas and innovations’ to the business and scientific communities presenting, an opportunity to open up oneself to the world, to find investors and partners, a path to global recognition of professional achievements.
The main summit of the year – the annual Assembly of EBA – is traditionally held in Oxford in the last days of December and is a main summing-up of the expiring year. Other summits, conferences and visiting sessions are held in different countries of the world, on the most prestigious business
and exhibition venues in collaboration with business partners. Each participant of EBA projects and programs may initiate the EBA event organizing in his country. This is how we implement one of the main activity principles: we represent the best of the best and the best represent their countries.
Participation in EBA projects and programmes
Any person, who has succeeded in any professional activity, one who believes that he has something to say to contemporaries and descendants, regardless of the ethnic, racial, religious or social af liation, can become an EBA projects and programmes’ participant.
The Socrates ceremony
Socrates ceremony is the key moment of summit programs; it is a formal procedure honouring leaders in science, industry, business and medicine, who possess professional and intellectual achievements in the modern world. EBA board of directors and experts holds the ceremony together with the Board members and, in case of visiting ceremonies, public figures and media persons in the host country.
Leaders, whose nominations are approved by the Board of Directors, receive EBA awards in various categories corresponding to their area of activity.
The procedure for awards competitive selection
'We build the world of successful people!' This is the EBA motto. The direct meaning of words defnes the methodology and selection criteria.
Again, every day EBA marketing department specialists monitor business activities in different world regions. Thousands of personalia are 'Seen and read'. Due to the proprietor procedure, we exclude companies that are not of interest for EBA projects.
The main selection criteria are:
· The evaluation of the company work in regional media
· A high position in regional rankings
· Brand recognition
· Positive feedback from customers and business partners
· Popularity and quality of company goods and services.
The second stage of a rather strenuous procedure, afer careful study of "weak and strong" points of a potential nominee, includes negotiations.
The third stage consists of decision making about nomination or refusal.

We expect that in the future this activity to become a priority, since all existing knowledge systems today are improved and changed, and our clients are in critical need of new educational trends.
