The European Board Diploma
A unique programme designed for European board members by senior European board members. The ecoDa programme is designed as an add-on to the national education programmes.
Why this programme?
At a time when boards’ duties are increasing and corporate governance challenges ever evolving, ecoDa has designed its European Board Diploma as a tool to stimulate collective intelligence and equip board members with the necessary knowledge and behavior to succeed in their roles.
This programme conceived as an eye-opener and a peer learning experience supplemented by real case studies constitutes a source of inspiration and a roadmap to strive for excellence.

— Bringing people together
A European programme
Since its launch in October 2022, the EBD has brought together board professionals from across Europe. We organise three cohorts each year, with typically 35–40 participants per cohort.
To strengthen its European dimension, one edition each year is organised outside Brussels, in a different European city on a rotating basis. This gives participants the opportunity to experience different European business and governance environments while expanding their professional network.
