Last June 16th, the Class of 76 reunited on the Paris campus to celebrate its 40th birthday. The Alumni met Frank Bournois who presented the ESCP’s strategy in the Gélis amphitheatre.

On this occasion, the Class of 76 officially launched its fundraising campaign to support the School, following the previous examples of the classes of 69,72, 75 and 89.  They aim to finance the installation of digital class rooms and to improve the learning conditions of the students. To thank the Alumni for this generous action, the room created with thei support will be named “Room Class of 76”.

The IoT (Internet of Things) Chair aims to develop a better understanding of business and managerial issues related to digital evolution and the development of connected objects.

The IoT is a reality that affects many sectors: automation, cities, health, transportation energy, B2B and B2C. The IoT appears as a crucial component of the digital transition: objects now have the ability to transmit contextual information and be networked to communicate. This new ESCP Chair, under the auspices of the Foundation and with the support of Schneider Electric and Valeo, is born from the desire to support students, businesses and research professors in the investigation and understanding of business and managerial issues related to digital evolution and the development of connected objects.

The IoT Chair is a place for the exchange of best practices, thought on new IoT prospects and the conceptualisation of business cases: the ability to produce and disseminate knowledge on a subject at the forefront of the concerns of companies. In addition to teaching, the IoT Chair is a place for discussion and reflection on the economy of connected objects. An annual conference, the writing of case studies, communication in the press or in conferences, the Best Student Thesis, theses in the ESCP doctoral programme… The activities of the Chair will be many!

On Thursday May 19th, the Alumni of the Class of 1989 reunited at Valtus  for a friendly meeting. Frank Bournois, Dean of ESCP, was there to present the news of the School and the historical perspective of its future empowerment in 2017.

The ESCP Foundation plans to support the class of 89 in a fundraising campaign that will illustrate the solidarity of the Alumni with the School’s development projects.

Reunited for a convivial meeting on the Paris Campus of ESCP, the Alumni of the class of 72 have reaffirmed their involvement in favour of the School’s development, and in particular to support its digital transformation. In this sense, they are leading a fundraising campaign, through the ESCP Foundation, that will finance the installation of a multiplex classroom ont the Torino Campus and a digital classroom in Paris.

We are very grateful for their support and generosity.

You will see below few pictures of the this nice evening.

April 5, 2016, ESCP, under the auspices of the Foundation and E. Leclerc, signed an agreement to create a new Chair dedicated to the theme of the retail industry in society 4.0.

This Chair for teaching and research combines the excellence of ESCP and the experience of E.Leclerc. Its creation reinforced the common desire of partners to develop a deep forward-thinking reflection on the retail distribution of tomorrow.
