The KPMG Foundation supports the Talent Spring programme of ESCP
The KPMG Foundation supports Talent Spring, an equal opportunities programme led by ESCP, in partnership with the ESCP Foundation.
Talent Spring is a new admission category to integrate the first year of the Master in Management programme, dedicated to students with an education track limited by very difficult personal environment. In this perspective, an assessment centre – inspired by those used by the companies to detect high potentials – has been created with the help of the KPMG Foundation. This process aimed to evaluate the student in a real case situation and to detect predictable skills, decisive for future managers. The behaviours of the candidates have been observed for 3 days through cognitive tests, collective workshops, innovation exercises and interviews.
Finally, 8 students of Talent Spring are integrating ESCP this month of September 2016.
The KPMG Foundation is involved since its creation in favour of a better access to education. So it decided to sponsor this initiave. This financial support will last 3 years.
Donors dinner at the Senate
The donors of the Foundation met for a dinner at the Senate, on Wednesday September 7th, 2016. Nearly 130 donors of the Foundation were there, including Jean-Pierre Raffarin (72) long term support of the ESCP Foundation.
During the event, Frank Bournois, Dean of ESCP, detailed the future evolutions of ESCP : the empowerment from the Chamber of Commerce, the development of the Bachelor on a new campus in Paris and the future 200th anniversary.
The need for a larger involvement of the junior Alumni in favour of ESCP’s development has been underlined through a testimonial of Marion Nakhlé Cerruti (12), Junior Major Donor of the Foundation.
Patrick Gounelle (72), President of the ESCP Foundation, claimed his support towards the School to fully cope with its challenges and opportunities. It is an essential investment for ESCP’s future in a environment of decreasing public subsidies and increasing competition between business schools all around the world.
The Foundation support to this process is only possible thanks to the generosity of the Alumni and corporate partners. This convivial moment reminded the importance of the cohesion among the Alumni community for the future of the School.

The Meetings of the Foundation around Nicolas Petrovic (91), CEO of Eurostar
The fourth edition of the Meetings of the Foundation took place during a dinner around Nicolas Petrovic (91), CEO of Eurostar, on the 4th of July at the Cercle de l’Union Interalliée.
Nicolas Petrovic detailed his personal track, from his studies at ESCP to his current position at Eurostar. Then he explained the main stakes for transport in Europe : how does Eurostar position itself on this evolving market (increasing competition, growth of new services etc) ? What are the future challenges of the european rail ?
Our speaker gave his accurate analysis on these very interesting topics. We thank him a lot !
The Meetings of the Foundation, a dinner series in small group – 3 meetings per year – around an Alumnus with a stellar record who shares his experience in his field of expertise, represents a priviledged opportunity of networking.
It contributes to the reinforcement of ESCP brand and to the proudness of belonging to our community. The number of places is limited to facilitate the discussions with the speaker.
