Chairs

Chairs were originally linked to the ecclesiastical sphere before being taken over by the academic world in the 16th century. Asking companies to support university Chairs and to contribute to financing higher education only began in the 20th century .

EDC Chairs

Our philosophy

At EDC Paris Business School we favour teaching and applied research chairs in order to meet the needs of partner companies, at the same time boosting the impact of our work on the development of our region. With this in mind, all our chairs are thus linked either to specialisations of our Grande Ecole or Bachelor programs or to dedicated programs.
