Scientific research at ESSEC Business School is developed around a multidisciplinary laboratory (CERESSEC) and several centers of expertise.
The research activity is organized into three thematic hubs resulting from the RISE Strategy (sustainable development, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship) and in the following fields: social sciences and humanities, management, data science, information systems, statistics, economics, finance, law, marketing, and public policy.
Researchers work on crucial societal issues, and thus participate in advancing scientific debates and informing political decision-makers. They provide concrete solutions for addressing contemporary societal challenges. One of our key priorities is sharing knowledge. In addition to open access articles, ESSEC Knowledge, and press coverage, we organize scientific events that can be attended by any interested parties. Recent projects have explored: health, the future of work, gender equality, artificial intelligence, mobility, logistics, green finance, the circular economy, energy efficiency, and mathematical tools, to name but a few.
Researchers benefit from a large internal network of professionals who:
-
Share information on external funding opportunities for research projects
-
Provide support with national and international grant applications (pre-award)
-
Manage research resources like human resources and funding (post-award)
