About this document
The March-April 2025 issue is dominated by the publication of the DBA White Paper by the FNEGE, the national body supporting management education in France. The White Paper calls for concrete action: official recognition of the DBA as an applied doctorate, its registration at level 8 in the national directory of professional certifications, and the creation of a quality label under the aegis of the FNEGE. With this publication, the academic community and the institutions involved in the development of the DBA aim to reshape perceptions of the qualification and secure the recognition it deserves within the French higher education landscape. The president also informs readers that the institute has decided to withdraw from the social network X in order to concentrate on developing a network fully aligned with its mission and vision, and announces with pride that it has surpassed 12,000 subscribers on LinkedIn. He finally encourages the faculty to reflect on the place of artificial intelligence in research topics, examining how far existing models remain applicable or are called into question. Faculty and alumni news complete the edition. The edition thus combines an institutional battle for recognition with practical decisions about the institute's own communication channels and research agenda. The format combines institutional information, event reports and the promotion of work produced by members of the community.
