The Team

_____

The permanent team of the Philanthropy Chair at ESSEC currently consists of six individuals: three teacher-researchers, a dissemination project manager, an assistant, and a strategy and partnerships consultant. It regularly calls upon ESSEC students to carry out assistantship missions on research or dissemination projects. For several years, the Chair has regularly hosted researchers working on philanthropy (research fellows) for stays at ESSEC. Visiting professors, postdoctoral researchers, or doctoral candidates, they are affiliated with a higher education institution in France or internationally and come to spend several months with our team to develop their research alongside us, share their work, teach our students, and contribute to knowledge dissemination.
