iMagination Week is a mandatory program that counts for your graduation (creativity is one of the top 10 skills listed by WTO for the future of work), thus it is a very important course for you. 

For your information, there will be no tolerance for no-shows!

• No absence allowed ! 

• Every absence must be notified. Please send an email to: etudes@essec.edu and inform your tutor as well.

• An absence from any courses/conference will give you a 0 (failure pass exam).

• No resit exam. If you fail your iMagination Week, you have to pass it again next year. 

The official schedule will be available by the end of December 2024.

However, please note that iMagination Week will be held on these slots: 

• Monday: 12.30pm until 7pm

• Tuesday: 8.30am until 7.30pm

• Wednesday: 8.30am until 7.30pm

• Thursday: 9am until 7.30pm

• Friday: 9am until 4.30pm

Yes, as a mandatory part of the curriculum, iMagination Week commitment is the same as the rest of the ESSEC mandatory curriculum. Which means over 100 studying hours, 25 hours are dedicated to the course itself and 75 hours to personal work. 

Here are the steps that you need to fulfill BEFORE iMaginationWeek:

• Make sure that you know your group, the classroom you will be in and the name of your tutor. All information available on the Organization page.

Please, check the "Toolkit" section of this website to make sure that you have all of the needed resources for iMagination Week.

This will be a very hands-on, exciting, work intensive, week. Make sure you check the schedule here to know what time we will finish every day and be ready to have homework in the evening.

Yes. However, also bring a pencil case with pencils, highlighters, a ruler, etc... Those will come in handy when brainstorming about your project.

It will be available on this website by the end of December 2024 on this link. Please, be mindful and respectful to the staff. They are trying their best to adjust to the groups. 

Your tutors are all creative professionals with extensive experience in coaching high potential people. Your assigned tutor will be available on this website by the end of December 2024 on this link. 

Please check the section "Grading" here.

Your deliverable is a stage performance of a responsible innovation project that you will imagine together with your team and will present on Friday morning. 

You can check the winning projects of the MiM program back in January 2024 to help you imagine what it could look like, as well as our Instagram and Recap Youtube video of last edition.

They will be presented in front of your peers, recorded, and the winning teams' projects will be available on our official website. In the future, for those who are willing to do so, we can accompany you with ESSEC Ventures to make your project a reality.

Equipment is available directly in your rooms and to align with our commitment to environmental sustainability and recycling, no prototyping materials will be provided directly. 

However, we will make an effort to place some cardboard and colored sheets in your rooms by Wednesday noon to assist with your projects. 

We encourage you to get creative and make use of any reusable items you might already have on hand. Thank you for your understanding! 

We have taken several avenues to reduce our overall paper consumption during iMagination Week, such as:

• We collect with the students, at the end of each iMagination Week, all the material that is left and that can still be used for the following year (post-it blocks, paper real but also pens, etc.) We store it and reuse it the following year. We also monitor what is not used as much each year, so that we can replenish the material bow in a more efficient manner.

• We create shared material boxes so that students capitalize on the paper resources.

• We remind students about the individual responsibility in managing what we all know is important: our resources (and not just paper).

• The recycling of prototyping materials attends an integral part of our workshop.
  We are committed to designing your prototypes using recycled materials, therefore contributing to environmental preservation.
  To facilitate this process, we provide designated waste bins where we responsibly dispose of all the waste generated during prototyping. These bins are then meticulously sorted to separate diverse types of materials for appropriate recycling.
  We place particular emphasis on this eco-conscious approach and ensure nothing is discarded without first being sorted.
  Additionally, students have the option to reclaim their prototypes at the end of the week if they wish, promoting material reuse and further minimizing our ecological footprint.

The key learning points of iMagination Week are available in the Toolkit section.

Speakers are international experts in their field, selected to represent a diversity of industries, through their expertise, originality and their future-thinking vision of their field in relation to our iMagination Week's theme.

For live speakers, each day of the iMagination week, several Groups will be selected so that students from these Groups can share their questions with the speaker. Your tutor will indicate to you in advance when your Group is invited.
