The aim of this joint teaching and research chair is to rigorously investigate tomorrow’s business models and management models by exploring and highlighting the singular features of the various types of organisation that make up the Social Economy: non-profit organisations, cooperatives, mutual organisations and foundations.

The NEOMA BS and URCA Chair in Social & Solidarity-based Economy will have three main areas of action:
-    Research : academic and field studies
-    Teaching: to develop critical thinking and the values of the two teaching establishments
-    Partnership and Communication: to firmly establish the Social Economy Chair within the local region

Laëtitia Lethielleux, Professor in Management Sciences at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, has been appointed as the Chair holder.
