In March, official opening ceremonies were held in Paris for the European Research Center (ERC). The center, which has been operational since spring 2002, is part of the School’s ongoing commitment to create intellectual capital worldwide and to form and strengthen relationships with leading companies and universities around the globe.
“The scale of the European economy, the vitality of its business community, and the political and economic changes taking place — all these factors raise issues important to our faculty and students,” said Dean Kim B. Clark at the opening celebration. “The research and case development work carried out through the European Research Center will strengthen the depth and diversity of the HBS curriculum.” Present at the ribbon cutting were (from left) ERC executive director Vincent M. Dessain (MBA ’87), Dean Clark, and HBS professor Dwight B. Crane, faculty chair of the European Research Initiative.
