In "Trends," we will present various topics related to the current form of education that uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

In 2018, Imperial College London played a leading role in establishing The Future of Management Education Alliance (FOME). The alliance has become a focus of attention as an approach that aims for the improvement of online education for business school specialization.
FOME consists of business schools that share the idea that online learning should have the same transformational impact as the best fact-to-face courses. Currently, the following eight colleges have joined the alliance as partners.

　＜FOME Partners＞
　・Imperial College London (UK)
　・European School of Management and Technology (ESMT) (Germany)
　・Singapore Management University (Singapore)
　・BI Norwegian Business School (Norway)
　・EDHEC Business School (France)
　・University of Western Ontario (Canada)
　・IE Business School (Spain)
　・University of Melbourne (Australia)

Using a common online platform, these institutions provide MBAs and other programs. The platform was developed by Insendi, an educational initiative spin-off from the Imperial College London.
FOME endeavors to facilitate development and improvement of educational programs by its partner colleges. ("Imperial joins global business schools to revolutionise online learning", November 1, 2018.）
