The QTEM – Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management – network continues to expand worldwide, with some encouraging figures. The 2019 awards ceremony featured several students from HEC Lausanne, University of Lausanne.
The QTEM international network of universities and partner businesses aims to develop skills in analytical and quantitative techniques to aid decision-making, by bringing together some exceptional students, academic institutions and international businesses. The QTEM programme is aimed at HEC Lausanne students who are enrolled on the Master’s in Management, Finance, Economics or Accounting, Control and Finance, and is based on a selection process. QTEM helps them to create a truly international network, by encouraging exchanges and offering modules such as the QTEM Data Challenge, in which students have to form global teams to set up a project.

HEC Lausanne students invited to Amsterdam
The QTEM awards ceremony took place in Amsterdam on 26 October. Four of the cohort of eight graduates from HEC Lausanne were present, along with over 160 QTEM alumni. For new graduate Chi-Hung Patrice Lê, “the QTEM is an international network that brings academic excellence and the world of work together around quantitative methods. Thanks to the network, I have been able to further my knowledge of econometrics by working with QTEM international students as part of the QTEM Data Challenge. Both exchanges have also helped me to develop my interpersonal skills, as well as travelling.”
