EDHEC FOUNDATION IN THE UK 

 

MISSION

EDHEC Giving, the EDHEC Business School Foundation, was founded in 1998. It plays an active part in developing the School by providing financial assistance to students and to high-impact projects focused on areas like entrepreneurshipresearch, and the social and societal commitment of businesses.

UK VISION

Create one of the most generous alumni community of all the Grandes Ecoles in the UK by 2026.

THE UK TEAM AND MISSION

We are a group of ten EDHEC alumni, men and women from diverse sectors, who have chosen to build our lives and careers in the UK. United by our shared pride in EDHEC’s achievements, we are committed to supporting the School’s long-term strategic vision. 

We believe in the strength and generosity of the UK alumni community and are determined to harness that potential. Our mission is to engage fellow alumni, foster a spirit of giving, and rally support for EDHEC’s strategic initiatives in France, the UK, and globally. 

Through our efforts, we also aim to contribute financially to EDHEC’s social mobility objectives, by supporting talented students from underprivileged backgrounds, helping them access the full EDHEC experience and realise their potential. 


WHY GIVE TO EDHEC?  

  • Increase the size of bursaries and the number of students benefiting from them. In line with EDHEC’s strategic plan and one of its key objectives of enhancing social diversity, the Foundation provides financial assistance to students who need it to continue their studies at the School or to further the policy of diversifying the social profile of students. 

  • Provide financial support for EDHEC students and graduates working on their startup projects in one of EDHEC’s incubators.

  • Improve the student experience, thanks to the roll-out of new “class rooms of the future".

  • Make an impact on the business world and more broadly on society, by funding  innovative and practical research and notably the creation of the Management in Innovative Health Chair.
