Research at Audencia

Audencia - Speakers in an amphitheatre

Research at Audencia aims to generate knowledge that advances science with impact and relevance for its stakeholders: students, companies and society (educational and real impact).

Our strategic focus is on responsibility and the social and ecological transition.

Our goals

We encourage our educator-researchers to:

  • Publish across all scientific disciplines
  • Submit to high-impact journals and publish books or case studies
  • Engage in the production of interdisciplinary/hybrid collaborative research needed to address complex business and societal issues
  • Establish partnerships with society and business and collaborate in professorships, research centers, and EU and other publicly funded projects to address issues relevant to their stakeholders.

Resources deployed

All of our teachers have access to training, support, and an evaluation and incentive system.

We provide them with:

  • Training through a series of monthly departmental research seminars with external guests, brown bag seminars, and semi-annual interdepartmental hybrid research seminars; a series of organized events and/or support for participation in larger events; in addition, we offer research workshops and training in research methods and skills, etc.
  • Additional support through writing retreats; mentoring from affiliated professors; personalized annual research budget; dedicated grant proposal coordinator and project management support; annual competitive internal funding call; dedicated research weeks; validation of project ethical standards by our ethics committee; etc.
