The ESADE project was conceived in the spring of 1954 by a group of Spanish professionals and entrepreneurs who later founded the university. The school signed an agreement with the Jesuits (Societas Iesu) in October 1958 and started offering its first academic programs in a small building in the district of Sant Gervasi, Barcelona.
Since then, ESADE has steadily grown in size and the range of courses, leading to the enlargement of its installations to create a campus which, if the premises in both Madrid[3] and Barcelona[4] are included, currently covers an area of 30,000m2. A new executive center was opened in 2003 in Buenos Aires, Argentina[5]: the Foundation for Business and Social Development. ESADE is currently creating the ESADE Creapolis,[6] a new campus situated in Sant Cugat del Vallès.
ESADE's mission is to:
"[...] promote teaching and research in the areas of Management and Law, in order to contribute to the scientific, social and personal education of individuals who are characterised by a high level of professional competence and fully aware of their responsibility in the development of a society that promotes the dignity of individuals as part of the humanistic and Christian traditions, and in a context of intercultural dialogue."[8]
