Teacher-researchers actively participate in the academic excellence of the ICD

WHAT IS THE JOB OF A TEACHER-RESEARCHER?

A teacher-researcher is, as his title suggests, both a teacher and researcher. His schedule is generally shared between teaching and researching.

He devotes most of his time to the school he works for, and necessarily holds a doctorate or PhD abroad, and has obviously defended a thesis.

As a researcher, he has an important role to play in the dissemination of knowledge and scientific knowledge. To do this, he will publish his work and take part in conferences and colloquia to present the results of his research, debate and share his thoughts with his peers on a given subject.

As a teacher, he establishes teaching modules, is a member of examination boards, contributes to the supervision of the work preparing doctoral theses, ensures the follow-up of master's students' dissertations and internships, etc. . In addition, he does not hesitate to provide sound advice to students to help them succeed in their choice of orientation.

This interconnection between research and teaching allows him to have a global vision on subjects relating to his areas of expertise and skills. Research is a key element of the ICD Business School, and this is particularly the case for applied research, which occupies a prominent place among the challenges the school wishes to meet in order to pursue its development.

ICD FOCUS ON APPLIED RESEARCH

The new research project, presented in September 2020 to the scientific committee, aims to align research with the school's positioning, with the aim of contributing to the emergence of innovations with high technological content, which respond to societal challenges. .

This new research project, in connection with the educational programs of the ICD Business School, allows the team of teacher-researchers to continue their specialization in trades and distribution. By deepening the thematic specializations relating to contemporary issues and management sciences, the teams study the following subjects:

• The impacts of digital, Big Data and artificial intelligence;
• Issues relating to CSR, ethics and citizenship;
• The emergence of new practices and forms of work, management and entrepreneurship-intrapreneurship.

RESEARCHERS CONTRIBUTE TO THE RADIANCE OF THE ICD

Composed of  teacher-researchers and professionals who combine an excellent academic profile and real expertise in their field, the faculty of the ICD Business School guarantees the academic excellence of the teachings provided to students.

The school's academic teams and researchers now enjoy greater mobility, with links at European and international level. The school uses the skills of its teacher-researchers, with a view to extending the influence of the LaRA (Laboratory of Applied Research) and its expertise.

The teacher-researchers contribute, in particular through their publications, to promoting the image and reputation of the school internationally and to developing its programs. It should be noted that 140 associate professors, working professionals, actively participate in the supervision of students and ensure that they pass on their skills acquired throughout their professional career.

By joining the ICD Business School, you will benefit from high-quality training programs, as well as individualized and professional pedagogical follow-up, provided by research professors of high academic and scientific level, who fully understand the needs of students.
