Read the 16th issue of our EDHEC Vox newsletter
This month, in the #EDHECVox newsletter "Surprising research... really?", our professors explore topics that might seem, at first glance, distant from the world of business education, and yet...
EDHEC Vox, our knowledge-sharing platform, aims to contribute to public debate, encourage critical thinking and develop innovation within companies.
These articles and interviews are part of an active dissemination policy of the knowledge produced in a wide range of fields: sustainable finance, digital, entrepreneurship, ethics, leadership, law, management, marketing, strategy, etc.

What do quantum physics, a family-run sawmill, drug trafficking and animal pheromones have in common?
If we say ‘our business school’, you'll think we're talking nonsense. And yet... our professors are indeed working on these topics!
In line with the school's strategic priorities, they have complete freedom in their research, as their role is to train curious minds equipped to explore an incredible variety of professions and inform as many people as possible, including executives, journalists and citizens.
Essentially, it is this accessible and ongoing dialogue with intellectuals who have ‘somewhat atypical careers in an institution, EDHEC, which is itself quite atypical’* that is emerging.
This month, we have brought together some of the scientific work that may seem surprising at first glance but which, once you understand their method and contribution, reveal themselves for what they are: an exploration of ideas – in space and time, a ‘thought experiment’, a new perspective on the world around us.
