In this Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), we propose to explore several dimensions of responsible entrepreneurship: a purpose that can benefit society, a business model design that takes into account sustainability challenges, an ethical business conduct, an integration of social and environmental considerations in the strategic and operational plans.

The programme includes lectures, online and face-to-face, onsite visits, and a hands-on approach through groupwork on an entrepreneurial project. Participants will prepare a business plan for a venture that includes a social, environmental or solidarity dimension in its offering and/or operations and pitch in front of a jury composed of academics and entrepreneurs. 

The BIP starts with 3 online sessions dedicated to defining concepts, on the one hand, and getting started on the responsible entrepreneurial project, on the other hand. A last virtual session, after the physical component, will be dedicated to the wrap-up and final lecture of the BIP. The SEIZMIC survey will be conducted on the first and last sessions.  

Online lectures will take place on the following dates:  

  • 6 May 2025 at 17:00 – 19:00 (CET)
  • 12 May 2025 at 17:00 – 19:00 (CET)
  • 15 May 2025 at 17:00 – 19:00 (CET)
  • 27 May 2025 at 17:00 – 19:00 (CET)

In-person activities will be held at the IAE Paris-Est School of Management, Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), from 19 to 23 May 2025.

Interested students are welcome to apply online by 23 April 2025.
