The Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management (abbreviated as SBS-EM and also known as simply Solvay) is a school of economics and management and a Faculty of the Université libre de Bruxelles, a French-speaking private research university located in Brussels, Belgium. Business education started in 1899 and Solvay was established in 1903 through a donation from Ernest Solvay.
The roots of the Solvay School stretch back to the founding of the Department of Economics of the Université libre de Bruxelles in 1899 and the founding of the Solvay Business School in 1903.Ernest Solvay founded and funded a business-oriented institution under the name of École de Commerce Solvay, as a private initiative established with the support of the Brussels business community. The Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management was established in 2008 as a result of the merger of the Department of Economics and the Solvay Business School.
More than 3,700 students attend some thirty programmes at the School today. Its current Dean is Bruno van Pottelsberghe.
The school's flagship campus is located in the Ixelles neighborhood of Brussels on the Campus du Solbosch, the central and largest campus of the Université libre de Bruxelles. The main building is situated on the corner of Avenue Franklin Roosevelt and Avenue Jeanne near the Bois de la Cambre and was built in 2010.
The school grants academic undergraduate degrees (Bachelor of Science), academic master's degrees (Master of Science), advanced master's degrees (pre-experience) and professional/executive master's degrees (post-experience), including more than thirty Executive Education programmes.
