Emmanuel Raufflet, Full Professor in the Department of Management, is one of the co-Directors of the new Réseau québécois de recherche en économie circulaire (RQREC) et will be responsible for the “change and transition” theme, one of the four pillars of the new network. The network is the result of a consortium of HEC Montréal, the ÉTS, Université Laval and Polytechnique Montréal, with the support of the Centre d’études et de recherches intersectorielles en économie circulaire (CERIEC). The Fonds de recherche du Québec has granted it financial support of $5 million over 5 years (2021–2026).
The new HEC Montréal building in downtown Montréal, to open in 2022, has received a grant from the John R.

Coursaris from the Department of Information Technologies, Sylvain Sénécal from the Marketing Department and Marc Fredette from the Decision Sciences Department.
The Research and Knowledge Transfer Office, in co-operation with the HEC Montréal library, launched the Réflexion platform in September 2021.
