REAL ESTATE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CHAIR

Vincenzo VINZI,

Dean & President - ESSEC Business School


As these past few months have reminded us, we are collectively facing major economic, environmental, health, and social challenges that call for action. In this complex period of rapid and profound change, companies, organizations and their leaders have a key role to play in responding to the questions that lie ahead. The business schools that train many of these leaders and influence their practices through research must transform themselves to be aligned with these new needs. In light of this, and true to its pioneering spirit, ESSEC is committed to becoming a business school of reference in its support of organizations, and positively influencing the way we address the major challenges facing businesses, organizations and society.

Created in 2003, today supported by Accenta, la Banque des Territoires (Caisse des Dépôts), Ethiket, Immo Mousquetaires, PIMCO Prime Real Estate, Quartus and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, the Real Estate and Sustainable Development Chair aims to promote both teaching and research in economics, finance and management of Real Estate in accordance with the current challenges of sustainable development.

It responds to a real estate context that is undergoing profound change over the past few years, due to the arrival of new players and the globalization of the real estate markets (offices, shopping centers, logistics, hotels and business districts). ESSEC is today the only business school in France and among the first in Europe to create this center of expertise in real estate management, economics and finance for students in initial training.

The Chair aims to be a center for research, teaching and reflection. Students are expected to participate in the associative life of the Chair. Students are invited to participate in several internationally renowned trade fairs such as the GRI Summit and the MIPIM (international real estate fair in Cannes).

There are also meetings with the Chair's alumni, conferences and debates of the Club ESSEC Immobilier, Villes et Territoires, as well as an annual study trip abroad during the intensive week in T3 (London 2013, Berlin 2014, Milan 2015, Amsterdam 2016, London 2017, Milan 2018, Berlin 2019, Amsterdam in 2022 and 2023).
