Associated Research laboratory
IRISSO focuses on sociology in the corporate world and analysis of public action
IRISSO (UMR CNRS INRA 7170-1427) is a joint research unit with researchers from Dauphine, CNRS and INRAE. Developed by over a hundred researchers, political scientists, sociologists and economists, IRISSO's work focuses on sociology of economic worlds and analysis of public action.
Organized around two main themes, “Capitalisms” and “Democracies”, research focuses on analyzing the effects of capitalism's mutations on societies and the regulatory mechanisms implemented by public and private organizations at national and international level.
The ecological transition and the digital revolution
at the heart of the university's programs and strategic orientations
Pioneering on issues related to ecological and social transitions on the one hand, and on the impact of AI on our society on the other, our university is developing two major programs: Dauphine Durable and Dauphine Numérique. Through our teachings and research centers, we capitalize on the unique positioning of our institution, which relies on the combined expertise of several disciplines, including mathematics, computer science, humanities, and organizational sciences, to support and illuminate the profound changes in our society.
