Accredited by the French Conférence des Grandes Écoles and internationally recognised 5-year degree by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
The Meeting Industry, and more generally the Experience Economy, have been highly dynamic and growing sectors, serving the development and innovation of business, scientific, cultural, sports, political and local communities.
While incorporating the issues of digitalisation and sustainability, experience and meeting professionals have to develop a wide range of high-end skills, from strategic analysis and community transformation through to experience design and hybrid event management.
This also includes more specifically interactions for engaging people, key partnerships, risk management, bidding expertise, etc.
This programme is aimed at training future experts in new methodologies based on relationships, creative experiences and meeting & event designs. These can be used by socially responsible organisations to engage their stakeholders, and cooperate and innovate with them. The programme features multicultural classes and internationally-focused content hinged upon a combination of CSR approaches, collective intelligence methods and complex event project management. Students are expected to act as professionals in the making: insightful, proactive and trailblazing.
