HEC Liège offers a dynamic and entrepreneurial research and teaching environment. Each professor conducts his or her research program independently.

Each professor is also responsible for the content and methodology of his or her teaching. The time allocation between the various activities is 40% for research, 40% for teaching and 20% for community service. In the early years of the appointment, the 20% of service is limited, which gives the professor the opportunity to further develop his or her research and teaching program.
