Sixteen new professors at EDHEC for the 2025-2026 academic year

A resolutely international recruitment policy

All holders of a doctorate or PhD from renowned French and European academic institutions, 16 new professors – 7 women and 9 men – are joining the school's teaching and research departments.

Their areas of expertise are aligned with EDHEC Business School's key strategic priorities. They cover a wide range of topics at the intersection of business, society and technology, from fintech to organisational identity, geopolitics, climate economics and accounting, AI, disinformation and political science.

Reflecting this thematic diversity, these new professors also come from all over the world, representing 12 nationalities and bringing with them a wealth of experience from renowned international institutions.

These appointments illustrate the school's commitment to developing teaching and research programmes that promote responsible innovation and value creation. EDHEC currently has 8,600 students from 110 countries enrolled in a diverse range of programmes, each designed to equip them with the skills they need to transform the business world with agility, social utility and academic excellence. Today, two out of five academic publications, as well as nearly two-thirds of the school's own publications, deal with topics related to sustainability, responsibility or societal impact. This focus is consistent with one of the school's core ambitions: to produce rigorous and useful knowledge, support economic transformation, inspire organisations and contribute positively to society as a whole.

The result of a collective commitment to serving our students & learners

To consolidate its position among the top ten European business schools, EDHEC devotes one fifth of its total budget to research each year. The school is fully committed to developing high-impact research, recognised for its innovations, and cutting-edge training in a wide range of fields.

It also asserts its unique characteristics, particularly through a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit, embodied by the creation of applied science startups whose revenues are reinvested entirely in the EDHEC ecosystem, directly benefiting its students. The latest, and fourth of its kind, is Scientific Climate Ratings (an EDHEC Venture), officially launched in June 2025 after several months of incubation.

The 16 new professors join a committed scientific community founded on values of independence, ethics, diversity and academic excellence. Their recruitment, led by Michael Antioco, Dean of Faculty and Research, is part of the ‘Generations 2050’ strategic plan: "This milestone marks a key moment for our community. After more than fifty recruitments in recent years, maintaining an ambitious pace of around fifteen new professors per year remains essential. I would like to thank everyone involved in this process and am delighted to welcome these new arrivals, who will strengthen our collective momentum towards innovation, impact and the future, for the benefit of all our stakeholders."
