19 May 2011 - SYMPOSIUM CASE RECTORS EUROPE : FUNDRAISING OVERVIEW
ParisTech’s President, Cyrille van Effenterre, welcomed the Symposium for European Rectors/Presidents: Fundraising for Excellence, organized by CASE EUROPE (council for advancement and support of education). The event gathered around forty rectors, university vice-chancellors, principals and actors in development from all over Europe (Finland, Sweden, United Kingdom, Slovenia, Spain and the USA, etc.).
Conferences and workshops provided an opportunity to explore the range of issues involved in raising funds in a non-Anglo Saxon environment: i.e. relevance and methods of fundraising campaigns, matching university priorities to donor motivations, the return on investment, and the key role of the CEO/Development Director duo.
Corinne Degoutte, Executive Director of Foundation ParisTech, Bernard Ramanantsoa, Dean of HEC Paris, and Xavier Michel, President of École polytechnique, spoke in turn of how funding-raising strategy can be a lever for developing European tertiary education.
