= Quantitative Techniques for Economis and Management (QTEM) = QTEM - Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management or QTEM is a growing international network bringing together outstanding students, Academic Partners and International Corporations. QTEM includes 24 academic partners on five continents, 14 corporate partners and one social partner (NGO). The network aims to expand to more than 30 Academic Partners and more than 100 Corporate and Social Partners worldwide over the coming years.

QTEM
QTEM was launched in September 2012 with financial support from the Bernheim Foundation. QTEM is an international non-profit association (AISBL) headquartered at the Solvay Brussels School, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB).

QTEM develops skills in analytical and quantitative techniques to support decision-making in an international context. The QTEM Master's program is open to outstanding students enrolled at Academic Partner institutions.

The QTEM Master offers an exceptional learning experience with:


 * Strong foundations in management and/or economics;
 * A solid background in quantitative and analytical    skills and techniques applied to management and/or economics;
 * A strong international exposure, acquired during one    or two exchange semesters abroad with different members of the prestigious     network of QTEM Academic Partners;
 * An immersion in the day-to-day work of    highly-regarded companies through a two-month internship.
 * A specific training and coaching in digital    leadership and data management

QTEM offers a unique opportunity for students to become future decision makers who are highly skilled in analytical and quantitative techniques, experienced through concrete business and policy challenges, and comfortable in international settings.

QTEM is a master’s program taken in conjunction with the home institution master’s program. In order to graduate from QTEM, the student needs to have completed their home degree along with all courses / modules, business challenges, international exchanges and internship that the QTEM program requires. QTEM graduates receive their diploma at the graduation ceremony hosted by a different Academic Partner each year.

QTEM Data Challenge
The QTEM Data Challenge (QDC) is designed to give students real-world experience with challenging and authentic data sets. Students work in multicultural and globally-dispersed groups while receiving coaching from industry and academic experts. Students must also follow online courses to prepare for QDC from a soft skill (digital leadership) and hard skill (data science) perspective.

The QTEM students must be creative and oriented towards analytics. QTEM stakeholders benefit from such synergies to turn insights into actions.

The QDC allows the students to bridge the gap between what they learn at school and industry practices. Students are asked to think outside the box and benefit from each team member’s strengths to find innovative solutions to real world problems.

Academic Partners
QTEM’s ambition is to be the leading, global network for expertise in quantitative techniques. Therefore, the ideal QTEM Academic Partner is a leader in research and teaching quality, a top institution in their country.

Corporate Partners
QTEM’s Corporate Partners play a key role in the professional development of the students. Being connected to a prestigious global network, Corporate Partners have access to highly talented students and young professionals by offering them jobs and internships. Corporate Partners are also involve in the QTEM governance and represented at global and local events. Fourteen Corporate Partners contribute financially to QTEM.

The Academic Partners of the QTEM network are:

Social Partners
QTEM’s first Social Partner to join the network, in June 2019, is Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Brussels. The network aims to reach-out to more non-profits and NGO’s that will contribute to the professional development of QTEM students in the same way as Corporate Partners.

QTEM Student Association
The QTEM Student Association (QSA) started in 2017 with five student clubs in Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Lausanne and Rome. In 2018, the QSA expanded to thirteen student clubs, more than doubling in size. As the network grows, student clubs will be located in every city where QTEM has a partner university.

The QSA works closely with QTEM’s central office and is governed by a student-elected Board comprised of a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, each serving one year terms. To learn more, visit: www.qtemsa.org
