The Global Council of Corporate Universities (Global CCU) is
founded and chaired by Annick Renaud-Coulon, who is likewise

In 2005, with the strong support of several multinational companies,

Universities, or GlobalCCU, a world-wide organisation that links
corporate university professionals from five continents.
From here, she organised the first truly global event on
Corporate Universities in France in April 2008. Participants from 24 countries
and five continents met for three days at Campus Veolia Environnement,
in Jouy-le-Moutier near Paris and Sorbonne University in Paris
to work together around the theme: Make Your Corporate University
a Lever of Your Corporate Responsibility. The seminar was supported
by the United Nations Global Compact, with participation from

York.
In 2002, Annick Renaud-Coulon launched The European
Club of Corporate Universities.
Prior to this, Annick conducted an extensive survey on Corporate
Universities, entitled: Corporate Universities, Corporate
Institute: International Evaluation and Comparison. A first for the industry,
Annick’s work culminated in an in-depth study that presented
the phenomenon of corporate universities from around the world.
With an exhaustive focus on quantifiable data and strategic and
operational aims, the appraisal presented 75 examples of corporate
universities from four continents.

University Best In Class (CUBIC AWARDS) from 2002-2004, where
