Louvain School of Management  The Louvain School of Management (LSM, formerly IAG) is the international business school of the University of Louvain (UCLouvain). The school is accredited by the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). The faculty offers courses on the campuses of Louvain-la-Neuve, UCLouvain FUCaM Mons and UCLouvain Charleroi in Belgium and is the Belgian member of the Community of European Management Schools (CEMS). LSM offers Bachelor's and Master's degrees (Master in Management Science and Master in Business Engineering), and PhD Program in Economics and Management Sciences and Executive Education Programs, including an Executive Master Program in Business Administration. The core faculty comprises 55 professors (all of them having a PhD degree), and around 150 visiting faculty members from corporate world or other universities. The school is also affiliated with two research and development institutes, the Louvain Research Institute in Management and Organizations and Louvain Institute for Data Analysis and Modelling with over 100 active PhD and Post-Doctoral researchers. The Louvain School of Management was founded in 1897 under the name "école des sciences commerciales et consulaires" as a department of UCLouvain. In 1972 it became the "Institut d'Administration et de Gestion" (lAG), under the Faculty of Economic, Social and Political Sciences and Communication. In 1989 the School started to offer a systematic exchange program. It is a member since 1989 of the CEMS network and since 1990 of the PIM network. It is also affiliated through the University to a large number of international corporate, research and education networks such as CLUSTER or COIMBRA. In 2005 it became an autonomous part of UCLouvain and started to brand itself internationally as the Louvain School of Management. In 2006 it launched its International executive MBA. It became an independent faculty in 2010. In 2011, LSM merged with the department of management of the Facultés universitaires catholiques de Mons (now UCLouvain FUCaM Mons). So far, LSM is operating on three campuses: Louvain-la-Neuve, Mons and Charleroi. Negotiations for a full merger with two other universities, the Facultés universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix (FUNDP) located in Namur and the Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis (FUSL) located in Brussels, were halted in 2012, however the latter (UCLouvain Saint-Louis - Bruxelles) has integrated UCLouvain in 2018, restarting negotiations for an implementation in Brussels.
