This multitude of facilities demonstrates the importance EMLYON Business School gives to sports, as seen, for instance, in the accommodations made for High-Level Athletes of some of the School's degree-awarding programmes, as well as the compulsory participation of all Grande Ecole students in sports or movement education activities, so as to promote the students' good health.
In the same vein, as the School firmly believes that sports and business have much in common, a colloquium on “Coaching, Sports and Business” was held on September 2007 on the campus.
