Sanofi and HEC Paris Launch Ten Scholarships for Life Sciences MBA
Sanofi and HEC Paris announced on Friday the launch of a scholarship program aimed at supporting ten students of the school's MBA program each year. This initiative aligns with the pharmaceutical group's ambition to attract and develop a new generation of leaders capable of navigating transformations in the sector.
Ten Scholarships Covering 75% of Tuition Fees
The 'Sanofi MBA Life Sciences Scholarship' program offers ten scholarships annually, covering 75% of the tuition fees for HEC Paris's 16 or 12-month MBA program. These scholarships target candidates from scientific or medical backgrounds (doctors, life sciences researchers, senior executives of pharmaceutical companies, medical technology engineers) who wish to develop management and strategy skills. Recipients will be selected based on their academic and professional background, as well as their ambition to contribute to the future of the healthcare sector.
Strengthening the Link Between Academia and Industry
Beyond financial support, this partnership aims to strengthen the bridges between academic excellence and the pharmaceutical industry. According to Audrey Duval, President of Sanofi France, 'the health sector is undergoing a profound transformation' and the group aims to 'train a new generation of entrepreneurial leaders who will shape the future of health.' Eloïc Peyrache, Director General and Dean of HEC Paris, adds that this partnership reflects the shared ambition to train leaders 'capable of linking science, innovation, and strategy.'
