University Social Responsability

University Social Responsibility (RSU), one of the major strategic focuses of Université Paris Dauphine - PSL


Dauphine wants to educate students who are curious and thoughtful, and who will become active and responsible professionals and citizens, mindful of the environmental, social, and ethical consequences of their actions and their decisions. 

With this ambition in mind, Dauphine has made University Social Responsibility (RSU) one of its major strategic focus areas since December 2016.

It is committed to the Principles for Responsible Management Education and has chosen the Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility (SD&SR) label to make this approach a priority for the university, to better anchor it in its operations and to mobilize the entire community, teachers, researchers, administrative staff and students.

Dauphine received certification in September 2020 for 4 years, thus joining the ranks of the 10 universities certified since 2016.

Supporting this strategy,

  • The Dauphine Durable program, launched in October 2019 with an ambitious project focused on training, research and the overall operation of the university.
  • The Environmental and Social Council, set up in 2022 as a collegial space for debate, reflection and proposals on the major transitional issues to which our university’s responsibility is committed.
  • The SD&SER (Sustainable Development and Social and Environmental Responsibility) Master Plan, drafted in concertation with all stakeholders in May 2024 as a roadmap for the 2024-2027 period.
  • The Rendez-vous Dauphine Durable, an annual highlight since 2022 with various multidisciplinary events and happenings - lectures, round tables, theater, documentaries, meetings with student organizations - from September to November, helping to train and raise the awareness of the entire Dauphine community and the general public about Rendez-vous Dauphine Durable transition issues.

A commitment in six areas
