THE INSEAD FUND

Investing where it matters most

The Dean’s Fund is fuelled by the collective giving of INSEAD alumni, students, staff, faculty and friends. The fund sustains vital programmes like scholarships and research, and supports emerging opportunities, including innovative projects that arise during the academic year. Because gifts to the Dean’s Fund are unrestricted, they give INSEAD the flexibility to invest in areas that demonstrate the greatest potential for advancing business as a force for good. Resources are used under the direction and at the discretion of the Dean.

Attracting top talent from around the world

Scholarships keep our school competitive, advance our mission and expand our diversity. They enable the world’s most talented students to choose INSEAD and enhance the school’s dynamic learning environment. Gifts to Scholarships support both current funds (a source of immediate revenue) and endowed funds (invested in perpetuity) for new and existing scholarships.

Download the INSEAD Scholarships brochure or visit the Scholarships page for full details on how you can get involved.

“Scholarships allow INSEAD to do what it does best: attract the world’s most talented, inspiring and ambitious students — and then equip them to make a real difference in business and society.”

Urs Peyer, Dean, Degree Programmes

Driving sustainable development and change

The Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society (HGIBS) is dedicated to shaping discussions and promoting action that drives progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

Through research, teaching, engagement and outreach, HGIBS strives to lead the way in transforming business education and mobilising stakeholders for impact. Gifts to HGIBS support four areas: the research of sustainable models, inclusion and wellbeing; the development of transformational learning experiences that open minds and inspire solutions; the engagement of students, alumni, faculty, staff and corporate partners as agents of change; and the integration of INSEAD’s efforts to champion business as a force for good.

“We need to convene the thought leaders, innovators, investors and entrepreneurs who can affect real change. This is how we turn steps forward into strides towards a sustainable future.”

Katell Le Goulven. Executive Director, Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society

Creating spaces to equip future leaders

Reimagining INSEAD’s campuses is integral to the school’s next chapter. Our campus renewal projects aim to better accommodate INSEAD’s growing community, enhance campus experiences, incorporate state-of-the-art educational methods and create new spaces for learning and engagement. Gifts to Campus Renewal support new models of teaching, new opportunities for collaboration and new ideas for innovation across campus.

Enriching our intellectual environment

Widely recognised as international experts in their fields, INSEAD faculty shape the school’s intellectual environment and push the boundaries of management research. To sustain this level of excellence, INSEAD must continue to invest in attracting and retaining world-class talent while also providing faculty with the resources they need to pursue pioneering research. Gifts to Faculty & Research support both of these critical areas.

Advancing technology for good

Digital@INSEAD focuses on harnessing digital technology to accelerate global prosperity and address urgent challenges in business and society. Through research, education and outreach, the initiative aims to generate new insights and frameworks for today’s business leaders and nurture a global community of scholars and practitioners. Gifts to Digital@INSEAD support these efforts to shape management practices and promote technology as a force for good.

“This is not just about making business more efficient. Digital technologies have the potential to bring tremendous value to society.”

Peter Zemsky. Deputy Dean, Dean of Innovation
