The proposed Chair is primarily a forum for education, discussion and development of research and educational capabilities to address intellectual capital in its widest sense.
The actions initiated by the Chair focus particularly on:
- 
Organising high-level research seminars (attended by guest professors)
 - 
Organising workshops and seminars for public-sector and private-sector executives
 - Organising an annual international conference
 - 
Defining and launching a European research (PhD) programme open to other countries, and, potentially, an MBA in intellectual capital management
 - 
Promoting the research capabilities of the Université Paris-Sud to potential sponsors and partners
