The R&D Management Conference is an international gathering of academics and practitioners interested in the study of research, development, technology management and innovation. The conference provides a valuable means of communication and exchange of ideas among academics and practioners. The prestigious event is of long standing: the Conference was initiated in Manchester in 1980 and the 41st edition of the conference is due to take place this year in Paris, France, under the theme "The Innovation Challenge: Bridging Research, Industry and Society"

Founded in 1784, cole Polytechnique (familiarly called “l’X”) is possibly the oldest Engineering/STEM higher education in the world. Its model, which combines top-level research, academics, and innovation at the cutting-edge of science and technology, subsequently inspired the foundation of many other institutions worldwide. Despite its small size—being a very selective institution, cole Polytechnique has fewer than 3,000 students—cole Polytechnique counts 3 Nobel Prize winners, 1 Fields Medal winners and 3 French Presidents amongst its alumni. Besides being the top-ranked engineering institution in France, cole Polytechnique is currently ranked 2nd in the world amongst universities of its class in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, 4th in the world in the Fortune 500 Alma Mater ranking, 6th in the world for Graduate employability, and 6th in the world in Nature’s Nobel Prize per alumni ranking.

HEC Paris, founded in 1881 and, as such, one of the oldest Business Schools in the world, has been consistently ranked as one of the best business schools in the world. Ranked 2nd best European business school in the FT rankings, its Master in Management programme has been ranked 2nd best worldwide for many consecutive years. Its pre-experience master in Finance as well as its MBA are ranked 1st by the Financial times for several years on the row and by the Economist. Its full-time MBA is ranked 4th by the Economist. It is ranked first by the Financial Times in Executive Education Business worldwide and for its Global Executive MBA.
