Chairs
In 2011 the Institute of management set up 2 chairs:
- The Management of Health Facilities Chair (Holder: Etienne MINVIELLE, University Professor in management sciences, Strasbourg School of Management)
- The Health technologies management Chair (Holder: François LANGEVIN, Professor at the Institute of management).
The Institute of management and the 2 chairs are setting up research and expertise seminars open to outside researchers and to professionals. Nearly 50 seminars will be organised over 2 years. These will lead to articles in professional journals and AERES reports (Agence d’évaluation de la recherche et de l’enseignement supérieur – Agency for the evaluation of research and higher education) as well as to publications.
Conferences will also be organised to allow meetings between researchers and professionals and the distribution of scientific research to professionals (eg: conference in June 2012 on financing capital investment in the health and welfare sectors). This will also help to increase the visibility of the Institute of management.
