CENTRALE LYON / EMLYON Business School : a partnership for the future

This partnership is called the Yin Yang Project, which represents the need of complementary skill-set of engineers and business leaders in today’s dynamic environment where business development depends on innovation and technology. The Yin Yang Project is the expression of the belief that education not only in science but through science can enable future leaders to innovate and create wealth in a continuously changing and complex world.

The Yin Yang Project will create a single campus which will both structure the relationship and facilitate communication between these two prestigious institutions. Among the main projects that the two institutions will conduct together: the creation of a center to foster projects, a new school for innovation, design and entrepreneurship, a center that will reunite executive education activities of both institutions…

Through the Yin Yang Project, the two schools aim at achieving four main goals:

• To form one of the most important centers for science and business, in Europe and later globally, dedicated to educating future business leaders and engineers;·
• To actively contribute to the development and international exposure of their metropolitan area and its businesses;
• To share costs and resources, providing important savings which will allow the two schools to reinforce their investments on activities that create value, on research and education;
• To become a European “green campus” dedicated to excellence, internationalisation and lifelong education.
