The capacity to produce strong disciplinary academic research linked to major socio-economic challenges is certainly one of the cornerstones enabling the university to develop partnerships with stakeholders in the socio-economic world through Chairs or Research Initiatives (which we sometimes also call Circle).
They are supported by the Dauphine Foundation or by partner foundations, i.e. the Institut Europlace de Finance, the Fondation du Risque and the Fondation des Mines.
