HISTORY ESADE Campus The ESADE project was conceived in the spring of 1954 by a group of Catalan professionals and entrepreneurs who later founded the university. After signing an agreement with the Jesuits (Societas Iesu) in October 1958, ESADE was born and started offering its first academic programmes in a small building in the district of Sant Gervasi, Barcelona. Since then, ESADE has steadily grown in terms of size and the range of courses, leading to the enlargement of its intallations to create a campus which, if the premises in both Madrid1 and Barcelona2 are included, currently covers an area of 30,000m2. A new executive centre was opened in 2003 in Buenos Aires, 3 Argentina: the Foundation for Business and Social Development. ESADE is currently engaged creating the ESADE-Creapolis,4 a new campus situated in Sant Cugat del Vallès, originally a market town but now an overspill area for Barcelona. MISSION The stated mission is to: "advance education and research in business management and law; contribute to the scientific, social and humanistic training of highly skilled individuals; foster individual dignity based on Christian traditions, and on intercultural dialogue".
