On the eve of its 120th anniversary, EDHEC Business School has fully revamped its identity and the way it chooses to present itself. This comprehensive makeover, both visual and editorial, is part of a strategic overhaul guided by the goals of the School’s Generations 2050 plan. Through this new brand platform, EDHEC asserts a clearer and profoundly renewed vision, and lays out the foundations of a trajectory it intends to pursue over the coming decades.

On Wednesday 29 October 2025, EDHEC Business School launched the third edition of its annual EDHEC Talents Lycées programme on the Lille campus. This equal opportunities initiative, originated by the EDHEC Foundation, caters to 48 high school pupils in the Lille metropolitan area. The aim is to raise the pupils’ awareness of higher education and the world of work, notably through events that bring them into contact with professionals. 

More participants, more actions on and off the Lille campus and more contributions from professionals. Throughout the 2024-2025 academic year, EDHEC Business School expanded the scope of its equal opportunities programme, EDHEC Talents Lycées.
