Research at ICN Business School

Since its creation in 1905, ICN Business School has developed a faculty of international stature, with a strong tradition of collaboration with the national and international scientific community.

Historically, ICN also marks its originality by its attachment to the University of Lorraine, with which it maintains close scientific relations.

At ICN, research is at the heart of our activities. It addresses important and difficult issues facing business and society, advances management practices and forms the basis for effective engagement with professionals.

Research also directly benefits our students, enabling them to receive high-quality education and to develop skills and competencies that are critical to their successful careers in an increasingly complex world.
