The Foundation rewards three professor-researchers for the third year running

The EM Normandie Business School Foundation supports the School's development, in particular bypromoting academic excellence and highlighting the activities of its professor-researchers. Each year it awards prizes for academic excellence in recognition of outstanding research and teaching innovations.

The prize for academic excellence is divided into two categories: the research prize and the teaching innovation prize. For its 3rd edition, the jury selected 3 winners, each of whom received a 2,500 euro scholarship on 31 August at a convention attended by all the staff of the school, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.
