A Place That Brings Together
People, Cultures and Ideas

For nearly seventy years, people have come to the INSEAD Europe Campus and left transformed. We are now re-imagining the campus around what has always made it special: bringing people, cultures and ideas together.

Our Most
Ambitious Campus
Transformation Yet

The Europe Campus Re-imagination is a decade-long transformation of the INSEAD Europe Campus in Fontainebleau, through the renewal and repurposing of existing buildings, new construction and a campus-wide reorganisation. The re-imagination will make the Europe Campus a more human-centric, connected, sustainable and technologically integrated environment, while preserving the unique character that has made it one of the world's most distinctive places to learn.

    Our commitment to INSEAD and the Europe Campus Re-imagination project goes beyond bricks and mortar. Every detail, from gyms to restaurants and meeting spaces, should foster collaboration and empower impactful interactions.”

    Paul Desmarais MBA'79 and Hélène Desmarais

    I am impressed by the rebuilding project of the campus at Fontainebleau. It reflects a long-term vision combined with top architecture. Together with state-of-the-art-building technology, it is fully aligned with our ambition to keep INSEAD at the forefront of thought leadership globally. The project fosters interaction and cooperation among cultures and generations, which is fundamental to creating - at INSEAD and beyond - a respectful environment.”

    Martine Reynaers MBA’80

    INSEAD is a truly special place. The people I met and the friendships I formed opened my mind and gave me the confidence to embrace unfamiliar opportunities. I hope the Europe Campus Re-imagination will preserve that energy for future students and create spaces that continue to spark dialogue, connection and collaboration.”

    Ji Hoon Lee MBA’10J

    My time at INSEAD fundamentally shaped the way I built Octapharma. Supporting the school has always come naturally to me. When the Dean shared his vision for reimagining the campus, it made me think of a concert hall and of music, my passion. Just as a world-class concert hall inspires artists to perform at their best, a vibrant and modern campus inspires academic excellence and transformative learning. I am delighted to help INSEAD build its future through the Octapharma Foundation."
