Following the inaugural meeting of the ESSEC International Advisory Board in May 2006 (on the occasion of the opening of the ESSEC Asian Center, Singapore), the Board convened for the second time on June 1-2, this time at the Cergy campus.



This consultative committee was created on the initiative of Pierre Tapie, Dean and President of ESSEC Business School, with the aim of examining strategic decisions taken by ESSEC in terms of education and development, anticipating the needs of the business world, and planning pedagogical innovations in response to these needs.
The IAB, as it is commonly known, comprises 21 members, all of whom are figures of considerable renown from the worlds of academia, politics, and economics. 

Amongst the issues on the agenda of this year’s meeting were an appraisal of the findings of the AACSB Peer Review Team, consideration of ESSEC’s place on the international management education scene, and the mission of the ESSEC Asian Center.
Meetings and discussions were also attended by prominent members of ESSEC Senior Management and Faculty.
