Former European Commission president and Italian prime minister Romano Prodi has accepted a one-year professorship at a top business school in China. The China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) said Wednesday that Prodi would visit its Shanghai and Beijing campuses next month to meet students and executives before he begins teaching later this year.
Prodi served twice as Italy's prime minister - from 1996-1998 and again from 2006-2008. He was president of the European Commission from 1999-2004.
