The Management Science Doctoral School was jointly established by ULg (HEC – Management School), ULB (Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management) and UM (Maastricht University - Warocqué Faculty).

In the framework of research partnership and external community service projects, we work with Grenoble University, HEC-Montréal, IAE of Lille, University of Lille I, the Management School of University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne .

HEC-ULg has also gained the support of an international network of universities with which it develops various forms of partnerships.  Prisme has created an International Scientific Committee in order to associate top level scientific figures in the School’s different research areas with the assessment of its scientific output and the conception of its main strategic orientations with regard to research.  This committee has the following members:

• Mats ALVESSON:  Professor of Business Administration, Lund University, Sweden.
• Eve CHIAPELLO:  Professor of Accounting and Management Control at HEC-Paris.
•  Thierry FONTENELLE:  Head of General Affairs Department at Translation Center for the Bodies of the European Union, Luxembourg.

Several of our professors are members of international editorial panels of journals, including: Economica, Journal of Scheduling (Quarterly Journal of Operations Research), Annals of Public & Cooperative Economics and La Revue de Gestion des Ressources Humaines. 

Our Research Center on Gender, Diversity and Women’s Entrepreneurship is involved in two international networks.  One of these is Euregional and includes Belgian French and Flemish language Universities and Dutch Universities.  The other includes Universities in Sweden, France, Ireland, Spain, USA and the UK.

We also participate in European programmes such as the framework program, Interreg and the European Social Fund.
