A community united around the IAE Spirit

Being responsible. Believe in equal opportunities. A sense of effort. Strive for excellence.

L’Esprit IAE is the link between these values shared by IAEs.
The network federates beyond diversity and draws its strength from it. The brand “IAE” is a true label, which recognizes the value of training, graduates and partners of IAE. Beyond that, the “IAE Spirit” challenges and strengthens the positioning of IAEs in the landscape of higher education and research in France.

To have the IAE Spirit is to be …

An optimistic manager

IAEs share with their students and graduates the desire to undertake and renew themselves. Far from being locked into their own prism, they cultivate their openness to the world. These caring managers pay particular attention to the social, societal and sustainable responsibility of their actions.

A curious respectful

Beyond their successes, the IAEs encourage students and graduates to question their environment, adapt to it and renew their practices. Mindful of their responsibilities, their vision goes beyond the company and permeates society as a whole. The principle of equal opportunities guides their actions, enabling everyone to develop their potential and enter the job market under optimum conditions.

A successful designer

In a world of international competitiveness, the IAEs and their students and graduates are hard-working and committed to creating value.

“Did you know?“

This network was created in 1957, alongside the first IAEs. Initially called the “Association Nationale des Institutions d’Administration des Entreprises” (National Association of Business Administration Institutions), the organisation was created to encourage exchanges between the directors of the schools. The association’s function then evolved to become an entity for coordinating and promoting the various French IAEs on a national and international scale.

In 2009, a new dynamic was put in place, with a real desire to animate the network internally and specific communication objectives. Launched in 2014, IAE FRANCE is the culmination of several years of reflection and is a benchmark for all IAEs, a real brand, a symbol of the IAE community.
