RSU is involved in all the training offer and in student life
Dauphine's educational plan is based on scientific quality and professional integration, along with the aim of teaching students to: be curious, open, and critically-minded; develop analytical, communication, and debate skills; and have the potential to promote active and responsible citizenship.
Beyond and in addition to the programs devoted to sustainable development and social responsibility, these cross-cutting issues apply to the broader educational offering as well as to student life. The programs are for students interested in these challenges in the context of businesses, NGOs, the federal government, local authorities, and global institutions.

DD/RS lessons are integrated into many of our courses
The university offers multidisciplinary instruction that combines management, economics, and law, while also emphasizing the social sciences in order to develop students' ability to reflect.
The course "Major Contemporary Issues" was created in 2010 to address important social issues using a multidisciplinary approach. It has been enriched over the years by a lecture series on sustainable development and now reaches some 750 second-year students.
Since the fall semester of 2019, a lecture series on climate change and 21st-century crises has been offered as an elective for second-year students (24 sessions, each lasting 1.5 hours).
There are many courses on these topics, including: at the Bachelor's level, "Sustainable Development and CSR" and "Protection of Fundamental Rights"; at the Master's level, "Philosophy of Sustainable Development", "Gender and Public Policy", and "Data Science and Ethics".
There is a curriculum specially designed for international students in an exchange program dealing with such topics as Corporate Social Responsibility in the 21st Century, Ethics and Compliance.
The Sustainable Careers Forum
The Sustainable Careers Forum took place at Dauphine last November, during which students got the chance to speak with a panel of various professionals in fields related to sustainable development, CSR, and social and cooperative economics.
