I feel inspired to empower others in finding their purpose in life where they can be themselves and bring the best of their version to the world.

Silvia Rodrigues

Executive Director

We all can be changemakers, and we are often so without realizing it, because our actions influence those around us.

Carla Abreu

Event Manager

We have the power to decide which story we want to live, and I believe that story can be full of light if we stand for our individuality while strengthening the bridges that bring us together.

Inês Rebelo

Program & Community Manager

As a member of the Estoril Conferences Team, of the CEMS community, and of the Nova SBE Community, I am very excited about the CEMS partnership with the Estoril Conferences. The 7th Edition of the Estoril Conferences will be held simultaneously in some of the +30 Top Business Schools, members of the Global CEMS Alliance in Management Education. I believe this live dialogue will amplify the Conferences’ debate on how to rebalance our world

Catherine da Silveira

CEMS Academic Director & Associate Professor at Nova SBE

I am most excited about seeing the student winners of the CEMS Video Challenge present their ideas to the Estoril Conferences’ Technology & Ethics Panel. I am delighted at how the Conference has provided a platform from which the CEMS community has been able to both amplify its internal engagement as well as expand its engagement with the Estoril Conference’s global network of changemakers.

Jumana Zahalka

CEMS Academic Director at NUS & Head of the Sub-Committee for Cross-School Initiatives

I find meaning and purpose in the ambition to create global impact. Having travelled around the world I have experienced first-hand issues such as starvation, political suppression and the effects of climate change. There are two pain points in some political conferences: the lack of output and the lack of youth engagement. This is where I felt the need to join the Estoril Conferences approach: an urgent call for action, and it all starts with the youth at heart.

Emile Von Schomberg

Youth & CEMS Initiatives Coordinator

I believe that initiatives such as the Estoril Conferences are crucial for placing the importance of climate action & (corporate) social responsibility at the core of both global political agendas as well as local community engagement.

Marie-Luise Meier

Social Media Coordinator

I truly believe that everyone can make an impact in doing good for society and make the world a better place. With many pressing issues nowadays, its crucial to find solutions with the purpose to take action. I wanted to take on the purpose of representing the Estoril Conferences values and promote a positive change by addressing major societal and environmental challenges while at the same time caring to make an impact. Creating change starts with ourselves.

Melissa Hermanns

Youth & CEMS Initiatives Coordinator

Together we aim to create a brighter future for the current and next generations, by inspiring and developing innovative and sustainable solutions, bringing together entities from all over the world with different backgrounds, skills and views. For people. For the planet. For peace.

Tomás Cachopo

Community & Youth Manager
As the years go by, we see incredible technological and social development in the world. However, this development only reaches certain parts of the globe. Having a positive impact on the future thrives me and makes me extremely excited about this project. Together we can do more and better. Together for Planet, for People, for Peace.
Tomás Rodrigues

CEMS Masters in International Management with International Finance Student

Since the moment we were born, we have always been living in this Planet. We live for the Planet as it lives for us. And that’s why I truly believe in what we’re doing here. More than for the Planet, for People and for Peace, we should all be able to hope. I hope tomorrow we can hope… for a brighter and better future…of hope!
