Chairs are platforms which allow the organization of various academic and/or scientific activities:
- employment of a young promising academic (Academic Chair)
- strengthening of a research team in a specific domain (Research Chair)
- promotion of this domain through scientific workshops and public conferences
At CORE, we currently have three research chairs.
Kronos Group Chair "Strategic Sourcing and Procurement"
The Kronos Group Chair "Strategic Sourcing and Procurement" is the fruit of a collaboration between Kronos Group and Louvain School of Management of the Université catholique de Louvain. The objective of the Chair is to promote research and education in the sourcing and procurement domain, contributing to fostering the profession to continue its transformation into a value creating and strategic profession. The Chair is unique for Belgium and also launching a unique Master’s level specialization in sourcing and procurement in Belgium, integrated in Louvain School of Management. The research in the Chair aims at empirical, economic and strategic studies of procurement under transformation, in particular the innovative, ethical and environmental dimensions of the area.
Per Agrell (CORE, UCL), Constantin Blome (CORE, UCL) and Philippe Chevalier (CORE, UCL) coordinate this project sponsored by the Kronos Group, Belgium.
