Research
The school has implemented a research policy focused on development and active engagement with the surrounding ecosystem to make an impact on a global scale. Our faculty members actively publish research in three key areas and present their work at international conferences and in scientific journals.
Check out our publicationsOur three areas of research
Priority Area 1
Business Impact and Development
Study of the social and environmental impact dynamics of economic activities:
sustainable finance, sustainable marketing, social entrepreneurship.
In light of the environmental and social challenges of our time, we study the
transformation of business models. Our research aligns with the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on climate action,
responsible consumption, and reducing inequalities. We are also developing
new tools to measure the impact of research on these goals.
Axis 2
Management Technologies and Practices
Digital transformation of management practices in partnership with
technology companies and international academic institutions.
We analyze the integration of emerging technologies (AI, blockchain, data science)
into management practices and study their impact on the competitiveness of
companies, while taking into account the associated ethical and governance issues.
Axis 3
Sports, Tourism, and Regional Development
The Impact of Sports Activities on Territorial Cohesion and Local Attractiveness.
We study the role of sports as a driver of regional development, employment, and
social cohesion. Our research highlights its potential for the economic
and social development of regions.
Our Vision and Values
A human scale
A size that fosters connection, enabling us, in particular, to continue to apply our students’ learning as effectively as possible. A human-scale approach is part of éklore-ed’s DNA.
CSR Commitment
A curriculum focused on raising awareness of CSR issues, which is evident at every level of the program. The courses are part of a strategy aimed at raising students’ awareness of social and environmental issues.
Regional presence
A regional ecosystem that provides strong support to the School by welcoming our students (through internships and apprenticeships) and integrating them into the local economy.
