HEC Paris unveiled its 'New Responsibilities' strategy, a sweeping institutional plan that anchors a €300 million fundraising campaign to expand societal engagement, diversify admissions pathways, and redraw campus facilities ahead of its 150th anniversary in 2031. The campaign earmarks €100 million for a Jouy-en-Josas campus rebuild and €200 million to fund initiatives intended to widen access, support social mobility and scale public-facing programs in entrepreneurship and civic education. The announcement also identifies a stronger role for faculty research beyond the campus and places long-term emphasis on interdisciplinary programs in climate and technology. HEC named Jean‑François Palus to lead the HEC Foundation’s fundraising push, signalling an executive play to leverage corporate ties and alumni networks for sustained donor investment.
