The ecological transition and the digital revolution are deeply ingrained in the research programs

A pioneer in issues related to ecological and social transition on the one hand, and in the impact of AI on our society on the other, our university is developing two major programs: Sustainable Dauphine and Digital Dauphine. Through our research centers, we draw on our institution's unique positioning, relying on cross-over expertise from several disciplines, including mathematics, computer science and humanities and organizational sciences to follow and light the way as our society undergoes deep-seated change.
