Research structure

ESPRIT-Tech is the entity (Research Office) that defines the Research & Innovation policy at ESB and that provides faculty with the logistical and financial means required for the realization of their research projects. An external Scientific Committee (in the process of being constituted) is tasked with validating ESB research policy and strategy and advising on future research priorities. 

Research at ESB is organized around the Research and Innovation Center (RIC), which brings together four interdisciplinary research programs in management science:

  • Economics, Accounting, Finance and Law (ECAFIL)
    ––– Responsible : Asma Ben Temellist
  • Marketing (MARK’In)
    ––– Responsible : Ines Mestaoui
  • Management and Organization (MANOR)
    ––– Responsible : Amina Amri
  • Innovation and Sustainable Development (INSUD)
    ––– Responsible : Azza Daboussi Torjeman

A Research and Innovation Committee (RI-C), made up of the heads of the four research programs, was established in 2022. It is responsible for boosting research activities and monitoring the quality of the research output. It meets on average once a month.

Although the research programs are organized by discipline, we have taken the decision to promote collaboration among the various research teams by identifying transversal and interdisciplinary projects.

Faculty members with background in Mathematics, Information Systems, or Computer Science have the choice of joining one of the RDI teams within the ESPRIT Engineering School (e.g., Data Science, Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulation, Intelligent Information Systems, Risk in Insurance and Finance via Stochastic Control, etc.).
