ESA is devoted to contribute to the development of top-quality teaching of management in Lebanon and the Middle East. In order to reach such an objective, the ESA programs should be provided by lecturers and researchers trained in the best universities and founded on the results of the most recent researches carried out in the local, regional, and international context.
Consequently, CRED missions are primarily the following:
- to develop research and publication activity of ESA.
- to be a support and training structure for its PhD students.
With the CRED, ESA participates in building the education of future high-level lecturer-researchers by selecting, among its graduates, those who have all the makings of a great teacher and researcher, and by helping them continue their doctoral studies in a French or European University without losing contact with the Middle Eastern economic realities.
CRED has a permanent team of researchers. It also welcomes lecturer-researchers from associate establishments of ESA such as ESCP-EAP, for specific missions.
