About

The ICN Business School, formerly the "Institut Commercial de Nancy", was created in 1905, by the University of Nancy and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Meurthe-and-Moselle.

The ICN is a prominent member of the Chapter of Schools of Management from the French Conference of Graduate Schools (Grandes Ecoles) and a member of the ECRICOME Group. Recognized as one of the leading French Graduate Business Schools, the ICN is also an active member of the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

In 1985, the ICN achieved a large degree of autonomy and independence under Article 33 of the Law on Education. Moreover, the school was granted its own Board of Governors. In 2001 and 2003, the French Government issued Ministerial Decrees recognizing the ICN as a Private School for Higher Education attached to the University of Nancy2.

As one of France's leading international business schools, the ICN aims :

* to contribute to the development of innovative management in theory and practice
* to cultivate effective professional managers able to work in a complex, dynamic, and diverse environment
* to respond to the concerns of its many stakeholders at local, regional, national, and international levels
