Esade

emlyon business school

After roughly 50 years in Écully, emlyon is moving back into the heart of the city, in the Gerland district. Gerland is at once a local, national and international crossroads, presented as a blank page on which to write a new chapter of emlyon.

With its Confluences 2025 strategic plan, emlyon has set out to become one of the top 15 Global Business Universities in Europe by 2025. On its way towards achieving this goal, the School has also become a société à mission and assumed its role of working in the general interest. This vision of a committed and innovative School will be embodied in the very shape given to emlyon.
