Ovalie: joining forces for better training
The Sports and Management Institute at Grenoble Ecole de Management and Provale, the union for professional rugby players, joined forces to become official partners.
Since its creation, Provale has encouraged players to earn additional training throughout their careers. The partnership with the GEM Sports and Management Institute will enable rugby players to participate in several recognized programs:
- BTS Management Commercial Opérationnel: a two-year post-secondary e-learning program for sales and operations management.
- Grande Ecole Program: a 3, 4 or 5 year e-learning program dependent on the athlete's project and level of education.
- ESC Grenoble Master's level degree: e-learning program over 3, 4 or 5 years dependent on the athlete's project and level of education.
The GEM Sports and Management Institute has already welcomed numerous athletes from the world of Ovalie, including Guillaume Boussès, Fabien Gengenbacher, Jonathan Laugel and François Trinh-Duc.
Covid-19: GEM alumni continue to mobilize
GEM alumni have continued to mobilize even after the lockdown. The school's Chinese DBA (Doctorate of Business Administration) graduates from Chongqing (China) had already sent 2,500 masks to the Grenoble Alps Hospital in record time (delivered on March 24). The donation was made thanks to the coordination of Jie Yan, a GEM professor, and Martin Zahner, Director of the center for international affairs at GEM.
Recently, the alumni provided the Isère Order of Doctors with 10,000 masks. They were delivered by the GEM administration to the Order's president, Pascal Jallon.

A new GEM campus in Paris
Grenoble Ecole de Management first came to Paris in 2014. Since January 2020, GEM opened the doors of its new location (96 rue Didot) which replaces the previous campus (rue Ranelagh). The project is a 2.5 million euro investment for approximately 2,500 square meters spread out over three stories. This new green campus aims to welcome 800 to 1,000 students per year.
Designed in collaboration with ZeroWaste France, the GEM Paris Campus is 100% Zero Waste. The campus has large green areas, its vending machines have no plastic cups, water fountains are set up everywhere and plastic water bottles are forbidden. The building is composed of modulable spaces that can evolve over time.
Built around the GEM Learning Model, the campus is a humane location that combines knowledge, reflection and action in a savant model for co-construction to build a model in which economic goals serve to enrich social ones. The campus has nine classrooms, a 120 sq. m. learning center, a 500 sq. m. project space, modulable classes, space for Executive Education and an inner courtyard.
Aimed at continuing education students, international students and work/study students, the new campus will offer the following training programs:
- MSc Management in International Business (MIB)
- MSc Fashion, Design and Luxury Management
- Advanced Master in Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Management
- Advanced Master in Digital Business Strategy
- Mastère Spécialisé Management des Entreprises de Biotechnologies & Pharmacie
- Mastère spécialisé Management Technologique et Innovation
- Mastère Spécialisé Stratégie Digitale
- Manager des Systèmes d'Information et du Numérique
- Certificat en Executive Leadership
- Manager International (orientation Technologie et Innovation)
The next step, which was interrupted by the Covid-19 crisis, will be to implement a system for simultaneous teaching of classes in Paris and Grenoble.
