Since 2012
The iMagination Centre is dedicated to imagination, innovation, and transdisciplinarity. Its aim is to help future managers understand the world while making them actors in the world to be imagined. Its objectives are to enrich their cultural knowledge by taking them out of their usual working environment and putting them face to face with experts from a wide range of disciplines (life sciences, art, foresight, gastronomy, human sciences, technology, etc.); to instill a visionary spirit to help them become aware of the challenges of the world they are going to build; and finally, to enable them to develop their creative fibres by stimulating their imagination and their ability to work in groups.
The transdisciplinary nature of the course, the richness of the network, and the encounters with singular speakers, combined with the research work on unique themes, offer them an opening onto new horizons and a chance to complete their profile as future managers.
The iMagination Centre is ESSEC's revolutionary concept, providing an immersive experience that emphasises creativity, innovation, and transdisciplinarity. It hosts various marquee events and training sessions.
The iMagination Centre promotes cultural enrichment by exposing professionals from diverse fields, motivating individuals to take on today's challenges, and promoting imagination and teamwork. This transdisciplinary approach gives future managers a broad viewpoint, preparing them to be visionary leaders in an ever-changing environment.

Responsible Innovation Bootcamp
Led by the principles of Responsible Innovation, our Bootcamp delves into the concept of Design Thinking as a powerful methodology for addressing complex problems. We recognise that traditional approaches to innovation may no longer suffice in a world grappling with climate change, resource depletion, and societal inequalities.
Through a series of interactive sessions and hands-on activities, participants will explore how Design Thinking places the user at the forefront of the innovation process. By understanding user needs, pain points, and aspirations, we aim to develop solutions that are not only innovative but also sustainable and socially responsible.
This course explores the inherent creativity within human beings, attributed to qualities like memory, projection, anticipation, and association. Creativity plays a pivotal role in human evolution, enabling us to envision possibilities, take risks, and solve problems across various domains. While childhood fosters imaginative thinking, creativity transcends mere leisure pursuits; it serves as a crucial tool for addressing emerging issues such as environmental degradation, political challenges, and human ethics. As we confront these pressing issues, creativity becomes intertwined with responsible innovation, prompting us to develop solutions that prioritize human well-being.
Thus, the course emphasises the cultivation of individual creativity as a means to envision alternative futures and enhance our quality of life beyond conventional boundaries.
