From the Dean & IAF Chair

INSEAD Fund

Change starts here

INSEAD is a joint project, and the INSEAD Fund brings together our global community in the spirit of collective giving. As an INSEAD Fund donor, you are advancing the school's vision of transforming business and society, supporting key priorities to equip future leaders, unleashing breakthrough research and shaping management practice.

Even in the turbulence of these past few months, you have been "Here for INSEAD", demonstrating the strength of this inspiring community of alumni and friends. Thank you for your support.

About the INSEAD Fund

Dean's Fund

Investing where it matters most

The Dean's Fund is at the heart of the INSEAD Fund. These unrestricted gifts provide flexible resources that are put to work immediately to support core priorities like student scholarships and faculty research and to respond to urgent needs as they arise.

The scale of challenges raised by the pandemic has made INSEAD's mission as The Business School for the World more relevant than ever. Your unprecedented support of the Dean's Fund this past year helped to reinforce the values, sustain the vision and support the ventures that keep INSEAD at the forefront of the business education - through turbulent times and beyond.

Scholarships

Attracting top talent from around the world

INSEAD develops leaders and entrepreneurs who cross cultures to shape business as a force for good. This mission starts with attracting the best candidates from around the world. But for many admitted students, particularly from emerging markets or under-represented regions, scholarship support means the difference between accepting a place at INSEAD and declining it.

INSEAD Fund gifts in support of scholarships help to enable the world's most talented students to choose INSEAD, keeping INSEAD competitive, expanding our diversity and enhancing our dynamic learning environment.

"Thank you so much. I hope to live up to what this scholarship stands for and be an upstanding representative of INSEAD, while continuing to advocate for women in the professional space."

Faculty & Research

Enriching our intellectual environment

Research is at the core of INSEAD's mission. In the face of unprecedented global challenges, cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary research is essential to expand the frontiers of knowledge and transform business and society.

Our faculty are international thought leaders in their fields. Their reputation for advancing the understanding of today's most pressing issues draws the top minds to INSEAD. As a premier business school, we are committed to disseminating knowledge grounded in strong empirical science.

Your gifts to research are an investment in the future of the school, and the world. These contributions fund bold new ideas, fuel change and improve lives worldwide.
