In 2024, INSEAD marked 35 years of its PhD Programme—one of the school’s most successful investments. With over 270 alumni shaping business education across five continents, our graduates hold prominent positions at top institutions, reinforcing INSEAD’s global reputation.
Despite its growth, the programme remains small, selective, and uniquely spanning two continents. It continues to embody INSEAD’s founding vision—achieving academic excellence through diverse perspectives. We take pride in our commitment to gender balance and impactful research that drives business as a force for good.
This programme is so important for our school—and close to my heart. Every year I try to come and tell the latest recipients how important it is for the INSEAD Board, the Foundation and myself as an alumnus to see a new group of young teachers going throughout the world to spread the message that Business is a force for good.
