For several years, one of ESCE’s fundamental missions has been to contribute to the development of research in the domain of international trade, in order to enhance the school’s international standing and reputation.
Thus, ESCE has recruited a number of research professors who actively participate in increasing the school’s international standing via their publications as well as participations in international conferences, one positive side effect of which is to make an essential contribution to the ongoing adaptation of the school’s curriculum.

Specifically, ESCE has its own research laboratory, the CIRCEE (Interdisciplinary Center for Research on Foreign Trade and Economics), of which the school’s research professors are automatically full-time members. The CIRCEE specializes in research embracing all domains of international trade. The CIRCEE also publishes its own magazine, “Les Cahiers de Recherche”, featuring articles on international trade written by university or business school professionals.
