==History==
[Gaston Berger](/source/Gaston_Berger), then in charge of the tertiary education, created the [Institut d'Administration des Entreprises](/source/Institut_d'Administration_des_Entreprises) in 1955. The following year the IAE of Lyon was created by governmental decision. At the start the IAE Lyon was a part of the Law and Economics faculty and was located on the Saône's Quays at 15 quai [Claude Bernard](/source/Claude_Bernard). In 1957 the first class graduated.

After May 1968, the [Edgar Faure](/source/Edgar_Faure)’s law abolished the existing faculties and replaced them with what is now known as universities. One year later the government granted an exceptional status to the IAE Lyon making it an independent part of the newly created [University Lyon 2](/source/Lumi%C3%A8re_University_Lyon_2). In 1970 the Maîtrise en Sciences de Gestion, a four-year degree in management is created.

1973 the IAE Lyon became a part of Jean Moulin University Lyon 3 created in the same year. In 1975 the first five-year degrees, called Diplôme d’Etudes Supérieures Spécialisées (DESS) and Diplôme d’Etudes Approfondies ([DEA](/source/DEA_(former_French_degree))), are created. They were co-managed by the IAE Lyon, the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Lyon (future [EM Lyon](/source/%C3%89cole_de_management_de_Lyon)) and the Economics department of the university. These degrees are the predecessors of the current Master's degrees available. During this same year, the first research unit was implemented within the IAE Lyon: the Centre Lyonnais de recherche en Gestion (Management Sciences Centre of Lyon).

The school began establishing international exchange programs in the 1980s. In 1981 the first professors’ exchange is organised with the [Carlson School of Management](/source/Carlson_School_of_Management), Minnesota, in the United States. After a major reorganization and growth period in 1982, the IAE of Lyon initiates its first student exchange programme within Europe in 1983 with the [University of Kent](/source/University_of_Kent) in the United Kingdom. The first student exchange outside Europe was organised in 1986 with the [University of Georgia](/source/University_of_Georgia), Athens and the [Georgetown University](/source/Georgetown_University), Washington DC in the United States.

After 2000, all the activities of the IAE Lyon were gathered at the ‘Manufacture des Tabacs’ complex. In 2003 the IAE started conforming its programmes to the [Bologna process](/source/Bologna_process) and implementing the LMD. The LMD system is based on three types of degrees: Licence in three years (bachelor), Master in five years and doctorates in eight years (PhD).

n the same year, the Equipe Universitaire de Gestion Innovante (EUGINOV) research unit was established, focusing on management practices, and the ISEOR research centre from the Lyon 2 University was transferred to the IAE Lyon.

==Campuses==
The IAE Lyon is part of University Jean Moulin - Lyon 3 and is located mainly at the ‘Manufacture des Tabacs’ [campus](/source/campus).

===The ‘Manufacture des Tabacs’ complex===
Since 2000, all of the IAE Lyon activities, except the EUGINOV organisation, are located at the ‘Manufacture des Tabacs’ complex.

To face the soaring consumption of tobacco at the start of the 20th century, the French government decided to build a new plant in Lyon on a 25,000m² site of a fortification bought from the army. Started in 1912, the construction was interrupted by the [First World War](/source/World_War_I). Construction resumed in 1920 and was definitively finished in 1932. At this time 2,000 employees produced up to 30 million cigarettes on a daily basis. In 1987, the production was stopped and in July 1990 the [Urban Community of Lyon](/source/Urban_Community_of_Lyon) bought the site for thirty-five million [French franc](/source/French_franc) on behalf of the [Jean Moulin University Lyon 3](/source/Jean_Moulin_University_Lyon_3).

The redevelopment of the old building was divided into 6 stages. The first stage was finished in 1993, however, it took 13 years to complete the whole project. At the end of 2004, the building surface available was 55,104 m<sup>2</sup>, with an added underground car park of 6,603 m<sup>2</sup>; a total of 61,707 m<sup>2</sup>.

The site is an industrial redevelopment that houses the university's management programs and facilities. This achievement is reflected in the recognition by the [French Minister of Culture](/source/Minister_of_Culture_(France)) of the ‘Manufacture des Tabacs’ complex as a “Patrimoine du XXème siècle”.
