Faculty and Research

The Toulouse Business School faculty maintains close ties with the business and corporate worlds through research, corporate missions, executive development program design, etc...

The Aerospace MBA is closely linked with the research centers of the Toulouse Business School and also has a dedicated research center: CERMAS (CEnter for Research on Management in Aeronautics and Space). Launched in 1999 and directed by Philippe MALAVAL, CERMAS is a multi-disciplinary (Strategy, Marketing, Finance, Economics, HR Management...) research center focused on Aerospace issues (Airlines, Airports, Aerospace Manufacturing, Defence and Space). The Toulouse Business School and CERMAS organized and hosted the ATRS (Air Transport Research Society) annual conference in 2003.
