Research helps to advance knowledge and understanding of a specific topic and promote the development of evidence-based practices. It also encourages important academic partnerships with other educational bodies and research institutions, as well as enhancing the reputation of faculty.

For over 10 years, EHL's Faculty has been researching and developing innovative solutions to help hospitality businesses and hospitality education improve performance. This has included research into new technology, data analytics, customer service, sustainability, food safety, crises resilience and many other topics.
