Participate in Chairs

ESSEC Business School's research and teaching Chairs are learning paths that closely associate the institution with companies wishing to be involved in training talent and developing their capacity for innovation. Under the supervision of one or more ESSEC professors, Chairs also benefit from executive management led by recognized experts in their field. Each Chair is designed to be the reference specialty pathway on a specific theme. Through the creation and dissemination of their knowledge, they aim to train students to meet the challenges of tomorrow's world, as well as leaders capable of providing appropriate managerial solutions.

   

 

Becoming a Chair partner means building a unique ecosystem of excellence, the result of a dialogue between the worlds of academia, research and business. It means forging lasting and privileged links with future talent who are particularly aware of the issues in your field of interest.

This long-term partnership is a real opportunity to recruit future collaborators from within a Chair.

Partner companies promote innovation and research

  • via students' innovative expertise in hackathons, case studies and the study of new business models.

  • by proposing topics for academic research.

  • by contributing to the public debate in France and internationally.

Companies also strengthen their recruitment capacity by co-training future leaders in their sector and by accessing a pool of candidates trained in the best management and innovation practices.

They also benefit from a renewed influence by speaking to students at academic events of excellence, by leading classes within the Chair, and by gaining access to the network of companies that sponsor ESSEC's other Chairs.

A Chair trains a class of students who combine compulsory and/or optional courses, case studies, a possible study trip, professional networking events and field visits.

Students are selected by the faculty and partner companies at the beginning of the academic year (between September and October), with courses and teaching activities starting in January. Corporate events (seminars, conferences, workshops, etc.) take place throughout the year.

The month of June marks the end of a promotion and its certification.
