Research & innovation

The EDHEC for Business Strategy based on the “Make an impact” positioning affirms our commitment to the world of business – a commitment that is reflected in both our research and our academic programmes, and oversees their development.

The school’s active research policy, in force since 2006, is reflected in EDHEC research centres and chairs that have gained recognition in the fields of economics, financial risk management, family business, law, financial analysis and accounting, infrastructure investment, leadership and managerial competencies, criminal risk management in France and all around the world. More generally, EDHEC benefits from the expertise of an international top-quality faculty characterised by its academic Excellency as well as its connection to the business world. Through specialised content, events and wide media visibility, the EDHEC research and expertise enrich academic programs built on innovative and business-oriented knowledge dissemination, they contribute to public debate and play a leading role in the economy. This goes beyond the usual approach, which places various individual publication strategies at the heart of academic research.

EDHEC is the European business school whose research is most widely cited in the five largest international economic press publications – the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal (Europe and Asia), The Economist and Business Week (source: Factiva).
