DGDW 2012!!!!
Dear Partners:
As most of you already know, IESE hosts Europe's largest student-run Annual
Conference on Responsible Business - Doing Good and Doing Well. The 9th
Annual Conference is scheduled for February 24 - 25, 2012, and now is your
chance to get involved!
What is DGDW?
We see the conference as a platform for Sharing the most innovative and
relevant ideas on Responsible Business from Corporations, Academia and
Non-Profit Institutions. An opportunity to:
. learn from and interact with key industry leaders and thinkers
. network and explore real-world career opportunities
. participate in thought-provoking debate
. be part of one of IESE's BIGGEST events!
What can you expect?
The 8th Annual Doing Good and Doing Well Conference, that hosted an
impressive 779 attendees, was a great success! With over 150 panel speakers
bringing diverse experience from both for-profit and non-profit
perspectives, professionals and students alike were challenged to re-think
how to lead business beyond models that only focus on financial returns.
The aim this year is to reach a larger audience, make the conference more
interactive, and introduce new elements such as the Social Venture Capital
Investment Competition and the Sustainability fair.
What's in store for this year?
With the main theme of Achieving Sustainability in Business and Society, the
2012 conference will include:
. Keynote speakers from Academia, Corporations, Civil Society &
NGOs
. 20 panel discussions under four key pillars of Sustainability -
Innovation, Growth, Collaboration & Impact
. Parallel exciting events including the Cleantech Venture Seminar,
Social Venture Capital Investment Competition, Career Fair and
Sustainability Fair
. All this and more over 2 exciting, engaging and fun-packed days!

Where to live in BCN?
Fernanda de Herrera a 2011 Partner, wanted to share with you some of her personal experiences when choosing a "barrio" to live. We would love to read your own stories!
"Barcelona offers a lot of diversity when it comes to flats, depending on the district you choose. It is probably good that you have an idea of what you are looking for and then look for that in a specific district. What we did was decide on a budget (good flats rented by students here range from 900 to 1600 euro more or less) and on some musts (for us, for example, being close to metro station with lift, having a terrace and having a washing machine were important).
You can then search in different webpages... we reccomend SHBarcelona or Elix, they facilitate the process a lot since you don't need a spanish co-signer when you show your letter of acceptance from IESE. Also, there is lots of flexibility on the lenght of the contract. Ours, for example was in months instead of years, since we were planning on doing the internship outside BCN.
Also, it's a good idea that you pin the different options you like on a map and look for the metro or bus you would take to IESE and how well connected the flat is. This becomes even more important for those who come with wife and kids. You can check the bus, metro and train lines that pass nearby at www.tmb.cat by clicking on "Where am I" under Move around, then typing the address and clicking on "Find the appropriate transport" and then again on "Find which means of transport you have". You will see a map with all the options. If you click on the metro lines and pick the station you would use the most, you can check if it has a lift too (important for families with strollers!).
You can also click on "plan a trip" on the main page and type the flat's address and then IESE's address (avenida pearson, 21, 08034) to see how long it would take to get there and how much you would have to walk (in case you don't get a moto or car... many of us don't have those and it's not a problem).

About the zones...
What I've seen is that it depends on your budget (since you are not splitting the rent with other MBAs), culture and also personal preferences. For example, Gracia is a popular zone for young people and it can get noisy at night. Sant Gervasi and Sarria are very popular among IESE students but some zones are up hill and it can get unconfortable for families with strollers, specially since you walk everywhere! They are usually more expensive. Also, L'Eixample is really nice! And stroller friendly too. But (since it's so big) you have to make sure you don't go too far away - or close to a good metro station - if you won't be buying a moto, otherwise traffic will make every day's ride a long one. I would recomend La esquerra or La nova esquerra de L'Eixample, which means the left half of L'Eixample (in spanish refered to as Ensanche).

The truth is Barcelona is a great city, and it changes a lot from zone to zone but they have all their special traits that win your love."
Thank you Fer for sharing your experience with us!

Class 2013 - VISA Questions?
Hi Partners! We have received many questions regarding VISA applications - so here you go, some experiences from partners:
The rules for the VISA very with each country. However, persons from the EU do not need a VISA. It is best to go to the website of the Spanish consulate in the country where you reside at this time. The VISA is only to enter Spain and will last 30 days after entering, after which you need your NIE.
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is the ID for foreigners in Spain and it is what you will need to open a bank account in Barcelona. The process for obtaining it is not very difficult, but it will take some paperwork and time. If you are a citizen of the EU, you will have to go to a different address then if you are from a different country.
It has been mentioned to some that you need a marriage certificate for the NIE, but it has not been asked of us. You do need a letter explaining how you will finance your stay here (students will have this letter from their application to IESE, but make sure your name is included in the letter as well). Students will also need to show a letter that they were accepted to IESE.
Address for EU citizens:
C/ Balmes 192 (10 minutes walk from Diagonal metro.) The office is open from 9am to 2pm but it is advised to go at an early time.
Address for Non-EU citizens with a student VISA (as well as spouses and children with this VISA):
C/ Guadalajara
