Knowledge Bar
ACADEM by RimaOne is partnering with well over one hundred Higher Education Institutions around the world, supporting them in their mission for continuous quality improvement with our dedicated software solutions.
We do not stop there however, but support business schools to engage with their wider community and share their best practices on both their data management and overall accreditation journeys, so that others can benefit as well.
The ACADEM Knowledge Bar is a platform to foster and share best practices, opinions, and white papers of those who know best: You!
