Research at ESSEC:
A compelling priority

By recruiting a world-renowned research staff and building an institutional culture that fosters research, ESSEC highlights the importance of this endeavor and, through its work, widely contributes to the development of knowledge in the management field.

The research program is supported by the ESSEC Research Center, created in 1963.

Support for research: a priority

Five principles guide ESSEC’s support for research:

  • Faculty members are encouraged to present their research at top national and international conferences
  • Financial support is available to faculty members for organizing on-campus seminars or conferences.
  • Faculty members can obtain grants for new research studies.
  • Special incentives encourage faculty to publish their work in journals.
  • Research efforts are coordinated by the Research Center, which assists faculty members with all their projects.

ESSEC provides professors with electronic resources essential to their work, most of which can be accessed off-campus. The ESSEC library subscribes to approximately 40 databases, everything from the international press to online market studies.
