The Microfinance Chair

Micro-Finance sits at the crossroads of two fundamental dimensions of the school’s mission: entrepreneurial management  and social responsibility . In addition to this, Burgundy School of Business can also be proud of its expertise on finance issues. The creation of a Chair in Micro-Finance in April 2009 was the culmination of a project that has enabled the school to become a leader in France in this domain with regard to research, teaching and to action in the field. The main actors in Micro-Finance are partners in this Chair: ADIE  (Association for the Right to Economic Initiative ), PlanetFinance , Babyloan  and CERMI (European Centre for Research in Micro-finance ). The Chair is also funded by the Banque Populaire de Bourgogne Franche Comté .

Professor Arvind Ashta (photo), Holder of the Chair, has published many articles over the last few years, has taken part in major conferences in his field and teaches regularly in universities in the USA and Germany. He is also a member of research networks such as the European Microfinance Platform and the European Microfinance Network
