By becoming an exclusive partner committed to financing the whole Chair budget over a period of 4 years, you benefit from close collaboration with top-level researchers, priority access to research results, an increased presence and priority contact with the students involved in the Chair, and the association of your company’s name with that of the Chair and the resultant advantages from a communications point of view.

4 Development Campaign partners have already committed to just such an agreement with the creation of the following chairs:

 The ESSEC-BNP Paribas Real Estate Chair

 The ESSEC-sanofi-aventis Chair in Bioethics and Drug Innovation

 The ESSEC-KPMG Financial Reporting Chair

 The ESSEC-Société Générale Media & Entertainment Chair

By associating your company with the creation of a Chair, and by contributing part of its overall budget for 4 years, you can become a Founding Member. For an Institute, the commitment lasts for a 5 year period, and the overall budget is greater. The share of each Founding Member depends on the total number of partners.

 ESSEC Chairs and Institutes

Founding Members are involved in the choice of research topics and benefit from Chair research results on a priority basis. Case studies linked to partner companies can be worked on by members of the Chair student body. Founding Members can also contribute to the courses organized by the Chair, and are associated with the Chair’s communication campaigns.

In order to better meet recruitment needs for high-level executives with international profiles, companies can finance studies through scholarship programs that bear your name. For example, ESSEC has signed agreements to develop dual degrees in Mexico, China, Korea, Singapore, and Germany. Young people whith a proven record of academic excellence but limited resources can then pursue their studies in France and work towards an ESSEC degree, in addition to a degree from their university of origin.

 Lafarge, Renault Samsung Motors, L'Oréal, Accor, Thales and the Foreign Affairs Ministry have all set up scholarship programs with ESSEC.

Your company wants to join ESSEC on a long-term basis? We can offer you a broad range of facility development projects (such as classrooms, lecture halls, multi-use rooms) where your donation will be commemorated on site.
