"Position ourselves as a driver and catalyst for innovative, research-based learning initiatives by creating programmes and experiences in keeping with a vision for entrepreneurship for individuals and organizations, both national and international."
“Train humanist leaders for the digital era, who have an entrepreneurial mindset and are capable of designing and implementing innovative strategies, with the aim of improving the social and economic performance of organizations.”
This vision is materialized through our new pedagogical signature called "DIVE" - Developer. Innovator. Value Creator. Entrepreneur - which is applied to all our programs.
These programs develop, to varying degrees, the distinctive skills of a 21st century leader:
The Board of Directors is the School’s ultimate decision-making body for all major decisions (budget, strategic alliance, strategic investment decisions). The Board carries out its mission based on the work conducted by the Steering Committee and Scientific Council, soon to become the International Advisory Board.
The International Advisory Board (IAB) was created in 2019, the result of a merger between the Scientific Council and the Steering Committee. It assists the Board of Directors and General Management in analysing the environment and defining strategy in terms of academics, teaching methods, and corporate relationships. It meets once a year for a seminar.

A 600 m² campus in the 7th arrondissement of Paris for continuing education.
In September 2020, a third 850 m2 site dedicated to our school in the Atlantic Tower in the La Défense district opened its doors: 11 modern classrooms in the spirit of the new campus, a mini Learning hub, an incubator, a relaxation area as well as a company restaurant with special "student rates".
In 2021, a new 5,800 m2 campus at La Défense will be added to the existing campus. It will accommodate all the programs operated under the EDC name. An incubator and learning hub designed to fostering creativity, innovation and interactivity will be implemented. In line with our values, our campus will have a low carbon footprint.

Each classroom will be equipped with interactive whiteboards and digital screens to promote distance learning.
The school also has three campuses abroad:
