ESCP Europe leads an ambitious and innovative research policy. The Foundation actively supports the research activities of the School through the funding of Chairs, Professorships, PhD. programme and Prizes for best research theses.
CHAIRS AND PROFESSORSHIPS
Corporate chairs are an important component of the ESCP Europe research policy. A chair is defined as a reciprocal long-term commitment that is based on a real convergence of the interests and ambitions of a company and the school.
8 Chairs are in pogress:
Deloitte Circular Economy & Sustainable Business Models Chair
Renault “Intercultural Management” Chair
“Factory for the Future” Chair with Safran, Safran Aircraft Engines and Groupe Michelin
“Industrial Relations and Firms’ Competitiveness” Chair in partnership with Airbus Group, Renault, Sodexo and Solvay

“Future of Retail in Society 4.0” Chair in partnership with E.Leclerc and BearingPoint

2 Professorships are in progress:

Doctoral scholarships
The Foundation contributes to strengthening the role of ESCP Europe among the players in international management research. The growing number of doctoral candidates affords a high level of production and scientific credibility for the School. This requires a capacity to offer scholarships to students with excellent profiles who do not have sufficient funds to carry out their research activities.
In 2017, the Foundation has financed 9 grants for students on the Paris campus PhD. Programme.
