[8] Since 2018, Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Fröhlich, President of the CBS International Business School, has held the chairmanship of the Cologne Science Round Table (KWR), whose aim is to highlight the numerous scientific and economic potentials of the region with its diverse range of offers and to facilitate networking between Cologne's universities and research institutions.

In the winter semester 1993/1994, the Europäische Wirtschafts- und Sprachenakademie (EWS) introduced courses of study according to the Bachelor system for the first time under the new name "International Campus", which made it one of the first providers of these degrees in Germany alongside the University of Bochum.

With the re-design of the new brand in 2020, the CBS International Business School presents itself as a joint university group with an enhanced study profile and with the new slogan "Creating tomorrow".

[11] The CBS also has an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE),[12] which makes it part of the Erasmus+ programme funded by the EU Commission.

The integration of the international students is promoted via close academic and also social support through consultation hours, various events and German courses at the CBS.

The Center has developed strong relationships with key companies in the field of sustainable management as well as with chambers of commerce, ministries of economics, NGOs, think tanks and thought leaders at local and international level.

CASM aims to drive the change towards systemically sustainable management by training young leaders, imparting knowledge and bringing together people who believe in the same way of thinking.

Since 2018, CASM has been a partner in various international research cooperation that focus on the development and piloting of innovative teaching formats for sustainable management and their effectiveness.

The aim is to develop an ongoing research and education agenda to advance integrated sustainability and facilitate the implementation of best practices in emerging economies.

[23] From August 2021 to February 2023 the CASM was headed by Prof. Dr. Cristian R. Loza Adaui,[24] who joined CBS International Business School as holder of the Professorship for Sustainability Management and Corporate Social Responsibility.

Additionally the CASM coordinated the activities of the project 1Uni - 1Book, dedicated to the topic of Gender Data Gap: #TheOtherHalf - Making Invisible Women Visible!

At the core of the research work at CBS[27] are the two areas of sustainable management and digitisation, which are expressed in the concept of "Corporate Digital Responsibility".

Other current research clusters include: "Education & Methods", "Business Transformation", "Entrepreneurship & Innovation", "Leadership, People & Organisation" and "Financial Markets & Rising Economics", all of which are considered in the context of globalisation.
