BDI

The BDI is the leading association for the integration of international students in all BBA, PGE, MSc, and exchange programs on the Lyon campus of emlyon business school. Each year, the association launches a dynamic integration week, a highlight for discovering the cultural richness of the campus and meeting people from all over the world.

The association remains actively involved throughout the year, organizing a multitude of events open to all, in a spirit of sharing and conviviality.

It also aims to enable other associations to be more visible and present among international students, through collaborations or simply by advising them throughout the year, but especially during their theme week - International Week! The association also promotes the intraemlyon mentoring system, “The buddy system,” which aims to facilitate the integration of international students into life in France.
