Research chairs

Participate in a research chair of Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM) enables managers and employees to develop their collective intelligence to help the company grow, and to contribute to a profound transformation of society. It also means taking a concrete part in the challenges of tomorrow, and in forward-looking work on the tools, professions and skills needed to support major transitions.

Chairs: building the future together

In concrete terms, by committing to an existing chair or creating a new chair with the Foundation, you are supporting the work of leading researchers to understand emerging phenomena, identify tomorrow's issues and forge the tools needed to reconcile economic and human concerns.
You are our sponsor and we are your partner. This gives you privileged access to our research teams, our researchers' expertise and GEM's reputation.

Chair Women and Economic Renewal

FERE is a research chair hosted within the GEM Foundation thanks to corporate and individual patrons. In the world of Tech, projects led by women are much less likely to succeed, whether they are entrepreneurial projects or the application of patents. If the woman comes from a disadvantaged social background, the trajectory of her projects will be even more penalized.
