RISE Conference (Research with Impact for Society and the Enterprise) is an international, academic, and business conference organized by INSEEC Grande École in Paris, Saint Joseph University in Beirut, and the Network of Organization Development Experts (NODE).
RISE is sponsored by the Academy of Management, Management Consulting Division, the International Society for Organization Development and Change (ISODC) in the US, ISEOR Research Center in Lyon, the Family Business Network Levant in Lebanon, Elmhurst University in Chicago, University College of Bahrain, and MACH Consultants in Paris.
RISEinEurope 2026 invites researchers willing to test their theories in the real world and measure their impact, and organizational leaders who have the courage to embrace public scrutiny and uphold scientific rigor. Discussion Sessions: Business leaders are invited to co-chair a discussion session and share challenges that are relevant to the enterprise, in order to orient research to provide applicable and immediately deployable solutions.
Discussion sessions are spearheaded by industry leaders engaging the discussion with industry representatives, scholars, consultants, and other professionals with the purpose of identifying topics of relevance to the enterprise, and cooperation schemes to provide solutions through research, deploy them directly or through professional intermediaries, and focus education on needed competencies.
Conference Chair
