profle. The following pages provide ample evidence
of our excellence in research and education.
Two decades ago, CBS took the decision to pursue
a strategy of global development and internationali-
sation a strategic direction that will be reinforced
even further in the years to come. Today, CBS can take
pride in a unique international profle that facilitates
lively exchange of in- and out-bound students and

Furthermore, CBS benefts immensely from a student
body that is highly motivated in terms of academic
learning as well as extracurricular activities. CBS
students are a signifcant strength of this university,
bringing entrepreneurship and great vitality to our
activities.
CBS enjoys the advantages of an architecturally
attractive university campus, centrally located in
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Our location
provides CBS with a valuable foundation for future
growth.

acquainted with or perhaps update you on our
unique university. Do not hesitate to contact us if we

BUSINESS IN
SOCIETY
What does it take to tackle large-scale societal and
business challenges sustainability or international
debt, technological innovation or cross-cultural
communication? At CBS we certainly believe that
excellent teaching and research are needed to provide
the sharpest analyses and insights.
Since the challenges often cross intellectual boundari-
es, we believe too that cross-disciplinary perspectives
are important; our scale often allows us to address
problems from a diversity of angles. And we believe
that open and collaborative partnerships are essential,
both with researchers and other universities but also
between students, businesses, public institutions,
NGOs and policy makers.
For CBS, business in society is about taking our
societal responsibilities seriously. But it is also about
being open to new ways of thinking and working
including new teaching programmes and new ways
of delivering education. Business in society is more
than just a slogan. We see it as a provocation, a
stimulus, a challenge to current ways of working and
a hope for the future.
Our 5-year initiative, the BiS Platforms, will enhance interdisciplinary
collaboration and is our way of addressing grand societal challenges in
which businesses have a stake.
In addition to the Public-Private Platform and the Sustainability Platform,
two new BiS Platforms were launched in the spring of 2013:
Competitiveness
The ambition of the CBS Competitiveness Platform is to pool knowledge
and combine different perspectives on competitiveness. By doing so,
we not only enrich the teaching and research further, but we also make
a concerted effort to take active part and infuence the public debate on
competitiveness with new intriguing insights.
Entrepreneurship
How can a society foster more entrepreneurs? How can universities
effectively translate their research, expertise and inventions into
new ventures? How can we support student start-up initiatives so
they are more likely to succeed?
The central aim of the CBS Entrepreneurship Platform is to
stimulate, facilitate and support the development of greater capacity
to fnd research-based solutions to such challenges.

CBS Library serves the students and researchers at CBS as well as the
public with study facilities, online access to quality information and
much more.
In its strategy, CBS Library focuses on three growth areas: e-resources,
information competences and research communication.
Over the past years, CBS Library has focused on digital materials. The
physical collection is decreasing rapidly in favour of electronic materials.
In cooperation with programmes across CBS, we guide and teach students,
lecturers and researchers how to navigate and search in a knowledge-
intensive world.
Registration of CBS research is done by CBS Library in collaboration
with CBS researchers and staff, hereby providing access to CBS research
production.

CBS Campus
CBS is primarily located in four modern buildings in Frederiksberg, close
to the heart of Copenhagen. Both the main complex at Solbjerg Plads, the
architecturally acclaimed building by architect Henning Larsen at Dalgas
Have and Kilen (the Wedge) refect the characteristic Scandinavian style.
CBS has also rebuilt parts of the former Royal Copenhagen porcelain
factory, and all parts of CBS Campus are within walking distance. CBS
facilitates contact with different accommodation options for exchange
students and visiting professors.
As of 1 September 2013, CBS expands the campus with three new
auditoriums close to the Flintholm metro station. The auditoriums have
600 seats combined.
Student Facilities
Student facilities include multimedia labs, interpretation labs,
break-out rooms for group and project work, personal computers
and Learning Resource Center. Computers are replaced with new
models at least every third year. Plugs for portable laptops are
readily available, and wireless connections are installed in the
main buildings.
