An international dimension : New international partnerships

EDHEC, founded more than 100 years ago, has undergone extraordinary growth over the last decade. This change of dimension has taken EDHEC to Paris, London and Singapore, while our campuses in Lille and Nice now offer facilities of the highest international standards. In its 10-year existence, EDHEC-Risk Institute has become a world-reference for its financial expertise which is highly prized by the business community. The school’s internationalisation has continued to be a major ambition. It is a very successful focus for all of our activities – teaching, student recruitment, research, internships, partnerships, exchange programmes, etc. – and ensures greater visibility and recognition for the school abroad.

EDHEC students at Stanford
EDHEC has signed an agreement with Stanford University’s Summer International Honors Program, which will enable EDHEC Master in Management students to spend eight weeks on Stanford’s Californian campus every year taking courses in economics, innovation, international relations and other related fields.
EDHEC is the 11th school in the world (after Oxford University, HEC Paris, Bocconi, Tsinghua...) benefiting from such a privileged relationship with one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

EDHEC-Princeton University international conference in New York City
On 27 April 2012, the first EDHEC–Princeton Institutional Money Management Conference - Academia Meets Practice - took place in New York. Scholars from EDHEC and Princeton presented the latest results of their research into the major issues facing institutional money management and into the new frontiers for the future.
The 150 participants from American financial institutions attended several stream sessions around finance professors from EDHEC-Risk Institute, from the Bendheim Center for Finance (BCF) and from the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering (ORFE) of Princeton University.
For Olivier Oger, Dean of EDHEC Business School, "this event is emblematic of our ‘EDHEC for Business Strategy.' EDHEC's aim is to be the School that wins recognition for the new ideas and concepts it contributes to businesses, and this conference, while marking a new phase in our development, is a prime example of the pursuit of this aim."
