Audencia created its Foundation fifteen years ago, to accelerate the school’s impact and commit to a more responsible society.

Its daring vision is to promote and finance socially innovative projects that serve the development of the school and the common good,  while strengthening Audencia’s commitment to society in its territories and around global issues.

Through its high-impact research programs, strategic chairs, and Gaia – the ecological and social transition school – it contributes to the emergence of multi-faceted thinking and the development of innovative partnerships to help transform the region and prepare students and enlightened citizens for the challenges of tomorrow.

By deploying social and solidarity initiatives, it supports the school’s policy of diversity and inclusion, by setting up a scholarship scheme for students in difficulty, or by enabling young people who have dropped out of the school system to benefit from a free year to regain their self-confidence through the Sirius program.

Our actions are made possible thanks to the generous support of a community of committed individual and corporate benefactors, who enable the Audencia Foundation to further the School’s social and environmental ambitions.

In the future, the Foundation wishes to commit even further to this approach of transformation, skills hybridization and cooperation with economic players, civil society and our partners in education, to work together to produce virtuous models.
