INSEAD’s Europe campus is nestled between the expansive Fontainebleau forest and the charming historic town, offering a serene environment for deep thinking and research. Its modern architecture blends seamlessly with the lush surroundings, creating an inspiring atmosphere. Despite its peaceful setting, Paris—with its vibrant culture and energy—is less than an hour away.
Fondly known as “Fonty,” Fontainebleau offers everything within easy walking distance—shops, restaurants, parks, hiking trails, tennis courts, an indoor pool, a renowned open-air market, and the iconic château. Outdoor enthusiasts can also enjoy world-class rock climbing nearby.
On campus, students benefit from a subsidised restaurant, gym, café-bar, bike-share scheme, bookshop, and a well-equipped library. The Doriot Library supports faculty and PhD students with an extensive collection of books, e-books, and over 10,000 print and electronic journals—providing everything needed for independent study.
The Europe campus is perfectly positioned for collaboration with leading universities and ‘grandes écoles’ in the region, along with INSEAD’s Social Science Research Centre in Paris. This cutting-edge behavioral lab provides exceptional facilities to support research across all PhD specialisations.
