IÉSEG further strengthens its academic faculty with new appointments

At the beginning of this new academic year, IÉSEG is pleased to welcome 10 new permanent professors to its academic faculty.

Experts in a wide range of management and business related fields, the professors possess PhDs/Doctorates from some of the most prestigious institutions in France and abroad (see below).

In the framework of the School’s strategy to provide students with a unique, intercultural pedagogical experience and to be internationally recognized for its quality research, permanent professors have a dual mission combining teaching and research. They will join the other members of the School’s international faculty at the Lille and Paris-La Défense campuses.

Of the 144 permanent full-time professors at the School this year, 82% of them are from outside of France (45 nationalities overall) and 100% have a PhD/Doctorate.

The School is also delighted to welcome a number of new lecturers, teaching and research assistants, as well as new part-time postdoctoral researchers to its academic staff at the beginning of this year.

In addition to their teaching activities, permanent faculty members are actively engaged in research in all the different domains of management and economics. These activities support both their teaching and the interaction with companies and other stakeholders. The high quality of their research and publications, together with the international nature of our faculty, further contributes to the relevance of their work and to the reputation of the School.
