@btsportfootball - why condtabtvrefrrence to race for 4th. Neither the table nor the firm book suggest that 3rd place is not also up for grabs !

[Simon Mercado @SAMERCADOUK]

@SherifHKamel Too too accurate my friend .

@SimonCalder @SimonCalder what are the possibilities of returning from Spain with your child under a PLF and then exiting again almost immediately without said child ? Not as a resident to mainland Spain but as a “two hit” vaccinated tourist ? What testing obligations / min. stay would apply?

@dpontefract Dan. It’s a win for many . For the meaning of team, for clubs where fans have respect for the board, for benevolent leadership, for integrity in sport, and for a city hit hard by the pandemic. #leadership #leicestercityfc

ESCP London campus Dean @SAMERCADOUK believes that the reputation of London’s business will allow the city to survive #Brexit & the pandemic: “Students are finding security in the bigger brands & the reputable quality of the bigger schools.” https://t.co/jRGZMgP6EO @OfficialGMAT

What if this combines with a Deanship? 🤦🏻‍♂️. In all seriousness, the academic colleagues I know are currently working harder than ever. Married, partnered or single, the demands of remote delivery and hybrid teaching (until recently) have worsened the work-life balance for all.

Single academics ‘have worse work-life balance’, study finds

512 bn. euros of goods traded annually between Britain and the EU. Keeping our trade with the EU27 tariff and quota free is the biggest contribution we can make to the concept of a truly global Britain. A trade deal with the EU is a victory for Brexiters not a defeat. Reminder!

[Simon Mercado @SAMERCADOUK]

A great opportunity to talk to TVE News Espana this week courtesy of its Europa 2020 Director and Presenter José Carlos Gallardo. Impressive guy. The interview broadcast this weekend on RTVE with pessimism building over the fate of trade talks #notsohappyplaice #Brexit #Brovid

Y, también, hablamos con @SAMERCADOUK, decano de @ESCP_bs. Con él analizamos el panorama económico y comercial previsto para los próximos meses, con más incertidumbres que certezas. Y, con especial atención, en los estudiantes que viajan a otro país para formarse.

.Having a woman of standing who is of mixed race and heritage as VPOTUS feels like the right choice for America and the world. It’s the perfect response to the creeping racism and misogyny of the Trump era https://t.co/iczbH781ZQ. There is a happy day in 2020 after all.

@anthonyjevans Looks like a nasty injury for Van Dijk. Pickford is obviously a scissor sisters fan. Should have seen a red. Losing all ability to read decisions including offsides by the length of a fingernail.

#COVID19 | "We will see greater evidence of #virtualmobility for both staff and students and a more responsible approach to the cross-border movement of persons and services," explains #ESCPbs London campus Dean @SAMERCADOUK in @Forbes. https://t.co/EX90aZ46qJ

[Simon Mercado @SAMERCADOUK]

Thanks to @BizEdMag for helping me to raise these issues with a wider audience. Let’s talk about a responsible mobility future rather than a post mobility one. If you want to know why then please dive in. @ESCP_bs @AACSB @CharteredABS

[Simon Mercado @SAMERCADOUK]

@GaryLineker Terrible for you to lose a dear friend and the world a character of such magnitude. Thoughts with you Gary and my own father too who has seen so many of his good friends from yesteryear pass on too young. So many stories that will continue to raise a smile and curl hair.

[Simon Mercado @SAMERCADOUK]

Nice words from @kmowbrayBlueSky . The long term growth trend in int’l mobility has survived several shocks and innovations. I suspect it will again. BUT don’t think that the old ways of working and modelling our businesses will be unchanged. Time for #responsiblemobility

[Kate Mowbray @kmowbrayBlueSky]

We don't have a crystal ball for the future of student mobility but @SAMERCADOUK article in @BizEdMag might be the next best thing https://t.co/yG1NVAXRBE @ESCP_bs

[Simon Mercado @SAMERCADOUK]

Bold positioning by @guardian under its editor-in-chief @KathViner. A publication with “a powerful and instinctive European sensibility, in favour of the common good & social justice”. Like @ESCP_bs championing liberalism, cross-border ties, and creativity #european #education

@anthonyjevans But not smiling this VARfternoon! Phew! #reddevils #keepers4econonomics

@ESCP Basketball team (men) have qualified for the semi-final of the London Universities competition and next play Royal Holloway. In addition to that, our undefeated ESCP Football team (men) have reached a semi-final against LSE.

Fascinating conversation on the Nexus between humans & intelligent automation with @Terencecmtse and @dcwgoh @ESCPeuropeLondon. AI education means teaching students about the underlying technology but also the social-cultural knowledge & questions behind AI #ESCPEurope #AI
