Published on 30/06/2023 - Updated on 13/07/2023

Doctoral schools

Doctoral schools manage all matters related to doctorates. Each doctoral school comprises several research units centred around a specific research field. Doctoral schools are in charge of recruiting, training and monitoring PhD candidates, as well as evaluating PhD viva voces. They organise courses and scientific activities for PhD candidates, and validate each candidate’s individual academic plan. The Faculty’s scientific activities are organised by seven doctoral schools.

• Civilisations, cultures, literatures and societies
• Concepts and languages
• History of art and archaeology
• Modern and contemporary history
• French and comparative literature
• Ancient and medieval worlds

  These doctoral schools organise and schedule the scientific activities of over 30 research units, 8 of which are supported by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). These human-scale units are sensitive to the challenges of the contemporary world. They take part in numerous scientific events and organise around 100 events each year within the Faculty. The wide disciplinary and thematic range covered by these scientific communities has established the Faculty of Arts and Humanities as a major institution in many fields.   Our doctoral schools in figures :

• 750 teacher-researchers
• 230 teachers
• 1500 PhD candidates
• 200 theses defended every year
• 40 accreditations to supervise research (habilitations à diriger des recherches – HDR) delivered every year

Research policy

The research policy of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne is led by a network of research units that are real incubators of performance and innovation. It thus follows the university’s tradition of excellence, inherited from its prestigious history, while renewing permanently its research themes and methodologies. The university’s teachers and teacher-researchers are members of 37 research units , 25 of which are jointly-supervised with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and/or the French National Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD).

The research policy of the university is defined by its Research Commission , based on proposals by the presidential team, in particular the two vice-presidents in charge of research. This policy aims to support and promote research conducted in the university’s own research units, and in joint units, on the themes which are defined by each unit’s council.

To support the university’s general policy which allows research work with partners, inside and outside academia, and throughout the world, the university directs specific funding for:

• International projects (promoting researchers’ mobility, as well as publication in leading international scientific journals).
• Projects working on and with the digitisation of data, the digital visualisation of their analyses and the dissemination of results .
• Projects with an interdisciplinary or even transdisciplinary perspective , capable of responding to societal challenges and communicating to a non-disciplinary, and even non-academic public.

The university’s partnership policy

The research conducted at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne is enriched by numerous collaborations with institutional partners from academia, as well as with certain national research organisations (NROs) or other academic institutions, and with partners outside academia.

The university draws on its research units, including their national and international partnerships, while focusing on its institutional partnerships with: the partner research institutions and organisations of the Campus Condorcet , of the Sorbonne Alliance , of Una Europa .

The university’s teachers and researchers develop numerous socio-economic partnerships through partnership chairs, business conventions for training through research (so-called Cifre PhDs) and patent filing.

International policy

The university’s research units and doctoral schools promote assignments abroad, invitations to foreign researchers and the development of international projects. For the doctoral schools, this mainly involves promoting joint-supervision and the international composition of PhD juries.

The university also follows the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) framework, with the HRS4R label , its participation in the CoARA (Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment) and through its research programmes. The university is also a partner in the European University Una Europa , a major international project bringing together 11 partners, which develop thematic research and a joint PhD in the field of Cultural Heritage .

Finally, the university has partnerships with international establishments, implemented within the framework of international research conventions, and it organises international exchanges, such as in in New York as part of the Alliance Program .

Human resources policy

The research policy of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne cannot be carried out without the inclusion of researchers in its design – from the youngest to the most experienced. From this point of view, the university adheres to the European Charter for Researchers and has obtained the European Human Resource Strategy for Researchers – HRS4R – label , which aims to guarantee the attractiveness of research careers and improve the recruitment and working conditions of researchers throughout Europe. By obtaining this label in 2021, the university has confirmed its position at the European level.

Research areas

Drawing on the diversity of its research, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne has also put forward four areas of research to assert its scientific identity , in addition to the five research themes of Una Europa .

These strategic areas combine purely disciplinary research and multidisciplinary consortiums . They also integrate research subjects addressed in a transdisciplinary way . With these four areas, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne seeks to favour collaborations allowing everyone, in and outside academia, to understand better the diversity and complexity of contemporary social realities.

The four major strategic research areas of the university

Realities, objects and models.

This area brings together research that questions the status of objects and material culture. It explores the real, including its fictional and virtual dimensions. The area also brings together research on the standards, models and procedures that establish such processes and the effects which these standards and models produce. The area is oriented towards the study of techniques – writings including algorithms, 2D and 3D images – and can integrate experimental forms of action research.

Justice and injustices

This area gathers research on the different forms of justice created by ancient and contemporary societies, and in different spaces. It explores the question of inequalities and their perceptions, as well as the social, economic and cultural mechanisms that produce them. It is oriented towards the production of data and analysis, without neglecting a possible examination of the ethics of research in view of teaching.

Decision-making, organisations and administration

This research area brings together work that explores different models of governance and social organisation – in the past, present and in different regions of the world – as well as their legal, economic and cultural foundations. It is oriented towards the study of decision-making behaviours, and is conceived in particular as a resource to help decision-making public policies.

Time, uncertainties and crises

This area brings together research focusing on moments of rupture: revolutions but also metamorphoses and changes of all kinds. The dynamics of their transformations are captured by the variety of individual identifications (gender, age, social class, origin, etc.), and collective ones (religious communities, political parties, trade unions, associations, etc.). This research area is oriented towards putting current events into the context of the political, social and environmental crises that we are experiencing today.

The historical structure of disciplines

The research conducted at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne is based on the rich and dense teaching of disciplines.  These are traditionally grouped into three main families:

• law and political science ;
• economics, management and applied mathematics ;
• and the social sciences and humanities: these include archaeology, visual arts, history, art history, geography and philosophy.

An interdisciplinary gender research area of the Sorbonne

Initiated in 2008-09 by a multidisciplinary research seminar, the interdisciplinary gender axis of the Sorbonne (AGIS) organised doctoral days and internal research seminars at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. The AGIS then led the Condorcet Gender Workshop (2012-2015) before becoming a winning “Hesam Synergy project” in March 2013 for its project on “Transmission and dissemination of knowledge on gender” (led by the EHESS partner). One aspect of this project was to set up a further education and training programme. The creation of a gender certificate was voted by the university authorities in July 2014, before being replaced in 2019 by a new degree: the multidisciplinary master’s degree in Gender Studies .

Research structures

Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne has 37 research units : 12 units are fully part of the university (UR), and 25 mixed or joint units (UMR), which are jointly-supervised with a national research organisation (mainly the CNRS and/or IRD), and often with another university institution (AgroParisTech, Aix-Marseille Université, Collège de France, École des Ponts ParisTech, EHESS, EPHE-PSL, ENS-PSL, ENS-Saclay, Sorbonne-Université, Université d’Évry, Université Paris-Cité, Université Paris-Nanterre, Université Paris Est Créteil, Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis, and sometimes INRAP).

In addition, the university or its research units are members of several collaborative structures , either by discipline or transdisciplinary.

Finally, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne supports the development of research infrastructures that meet the needs of researchers: libraries, technical platforms, archives and data warehouses.

Research structures of the university

• Research units
• Collaborative structures
• Research infrastructures

Cross-cutting projects

Research is first structured by disciplines, or families of disciplines. The latter are the source of a great scientific richness, linked to the accumulation of knowledge and the refinement of methods. Nevertheless, the university also encourages the setting up of projects that will structure research according to another approach, when an issue needs to addressed with the help of several disciplines (multidisciplinary projects) or the implementation of an overall approach from the outset (transdisciplinary projects).

SORB'RISING

CAMPUS CONDORCET

SORBONNE ALLIANCE

Transdisciplinary research initiatives are developed within research structures (research units or collaborative structures). They bring together ongoing projects funded by external partners (for example, the Ile-de-France Region, the Paris Rectorate, France’s National Research Agency, the European Research Council) or through the university’s Sorb’Rising funding programme. They are sometimes strictly transdisciplinary (a subject of study analysed by a new methodology implemented by different disciplines). They may be interdisciplinary (each discipline bringing its methodology to converge in the analysis of a common subject). These two forms of multidisciplinary work always aim to make the best use of disciplinary knowledge, and often result in significant scientific advances in the disciplines involved.

The Sorb’Rising project is funded through France’s 4th programme of future investments ( France 2030 ), and aims to strengthen the identity of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne as a world-class institution in the social sciences and humanities. It is structured around four areas of activity and runs for eight years (2022-2030). This is a transformative project for the university and gives a place of choice to research.

Sorb’Rising aims to increase the attractiveness of the social sciences and humanities by supporting transdisciplinary research that responds to the challenges raised by the major societal issues of today. Sorb’Rising thus works to promote research that brings an innovative perspective to the major challenges of our time; whether political, ecological, socio-economic, demographic, technological, etc.

This support is based on various actions that will be progressively implemented throughout the programme:

• the promotion of transdisciplinary research initiatives carried out by university teachers ;
• financial support for these emerging or already-existing initiatives, through various waves of Sorb’Rising calls for projects ;
• the establishment of a digital centre of excellence whose aim will be to encourage the contribution of social sciences and humanities to the analysis of digital uses and to stimulate the use of digital instruments in teaching and research activities.

Una Europa is an alliance of European universities in which Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and 10 other European universities have decided to cooperate in education, training and research.

To strengthen its research activities, the Una Europa Alliance relies on the Una.Resin project, selected by the European Commission in 2021, and led by the University of Edinburgh . The aim of this project is to build a common ecosystem of research and innovation for the members of Una Europa, by developing common strategies and practices in key areas such as research infrastructures, human capital, the involvement of citizens and the non-academic sector, etc. 

Furthermore, for each of the five research themes of Una Europa , research workshops or open seminars are organised to allow exchanges between academics and researchers of the Alliance. Specific seed funding supports collaborative research initiatives between partners.

Together with 10 other institutions, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne is one of the founding members of Campus Condorcet , an international campus of 7½ hectares located in Aubervilliers (just to the north-east of central Paris). The Campus’s aim is to meet the pedagogical, scientific and digital challenges of the 21st century in the field of social sciences and humanities.

The Cité of social sciences and humanities

The project aims to provide the social sciences and humanities with an infrastructure and training for research. This includes providing all the facilities necessary for the success of students and researchers. Campus Condorcet brings together 11 member organisations (including université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) which have already had close scientific and pedagogical relations for a long time.

Nicknamed the “French Harvard”, The Cité aims to become a leading international hub for research in social sciences and humanities. This huge complex exists as a university district in the heart of the city-suburb of Aubervilliers and brings a new dynamic to the area by participating in its urban development.

From a scientific point of view, the Campus promotes exchanges between different communities, stimulating meetings between disciplines and researchers. It also facilitates access to knowledge thanks to the Humathèque Condorcet which brings together the holdings of 50 libraries and develops the attractiveness and influence of French research on an international scale.

Key figures of the Campus Condorcet:

• 100 research units,
• 12,000 students including 4,800 PhD students,
• 4,200 teacher-researchers,
• 900 administrative staff,
• 450 student housing units,
• 5 dining areas,
• 1 million documents, 80% of which are open access.

The Sorbonne Alliance was initiated in 2018, and became operational at the beginning of 2021 with the signing of a territorial coordination agreement between its three founding institutions : Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, the ESCP Business School and Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. This is a flexible and reactive alliance which allows collaborative work across these institutions, while maintaining total freedom of movement of its members. It seeks to create a large cluster in social sciences and humanities, and to nurture the interdisciplinary synergies to meet challenges where required.

Promotion and dissemination of research

Classrooms are the first place for disseminating research results. The courses provided by the university are constantly enriched by research carried out by the teachers and researchers of université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and by all the researchers who participate in its international research networks.

In addition, the university pursues a proactive policy of promoting and disseminating the results and data of its research via its internet HAL portal and its publishing bodies, including the Éditions de la Sorbonne , the Éditions de l’IRJS (Institut de Recherche Juridique de la Sorbonne), the Editions IEJ de la Sorbonne (Institute of Judicial Studies) and the numerous scientific journals directed, co-directed, edited or hosted by the university’s research units.

The results of research are also promoted by transfer actions in the socio-economic world: partnerships linked to research chairs , specific agreements for decision-making support, or actions jointly-constructed by researchers (in academia or outside) and by social actors.

At the institutional level, the university publishes the revue #1257 ( available in English ) which aims to make its research accessible to as many people as possible. The aim of this journal is to give readers the chance to discover the state of research at the university, but also to testify to the actions that drive researchers’ daily lives. Finally, cultural mediation mechanisms and dialogues with non-academic partners make it possible to disseminate research results outside university circles.

Open science

Open science is now integrated into all public policies, both national and European, and is fully in line with the orientations of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. The university is committed to the national and European objective of Open Access which consists in opening up scientific knowledge through findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (the FAIR principles), all within an adapted scientific, legal, ethical and technical framework.

A website specifically dedicated to open science and a local support network made up of open science contact persons provide the university’s researchers and research units with the required resources and support. The university’s objectives on open science are:

• to raise awareness and support teacher-researchers and PhD students through diversified and adapted training;
• to encourage research to be posted on specific platforms and in particular on the HAL-Paris1 Panthéon-Sorbonne internet platform;
• to encourage the creation of researcher identifiers and HAL CVs;
• to support the choice of open access for the university’s publishing activities

OPEN SCIENCE

HAL PLATFORM

Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne organises PhD training in 10 doctoral schools for: archaeology, history, political science, plastic arts and art sciences, philosophy, art history, and the Sorbonne Law School doctoral school. These prepare students for their PhDs, in their respective disciplines, and which are only awarded by Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Three further doctoral schools are common to several co-accredited institutions. This is the case of the Paris doctoral school of geography (shared with the Sorbonne Université), the Panthéon-Sorbonne doctoral school of economics (shared with PSL, EHESS and ENPC), and the Panthéon-Sorbonne doctoral school of management (shared with the ESCP Business School). The university is also co-accredited to award PhDs prepared within the Paris Centre doctoral school of mathematical sciences. The university has a college of doctoral schools whose mission is to implement the PhD policy of the institution, federating certain skills and ensuring the administration of qualification campaigns permitting teacher-researchers to supervise research (HDR) .

2,197 PhD students were enrolled at the university in 2021/2022, including 344 first enrolments. 233 PhDs were defended in 2021. Each year, the university offers several doctoral contracts in addition to the 90 contracts awarded through competition by the doctoral schools and those proposed by the research structures and other institutions and organisations. In total, 213 PhDs were funded in 2021/2022.

The university has a proactive policy of providing access to PhD training to professionals (senior civil servants, senior officers, persons in positions of responsibility). To date, several agreements have been signed with partners such as the Institut Français de la Mode , the École d’Architecture de la Villette, the École de Guerre, the Institut National du Patrimoine and the École du Louvre.

Being open to the world, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne promotes and encourages mobility , the international joint-supervision of PhDs , as well as the international composition of PhD juries. The university’s commitment to the European Higher Education Area is also reflected in its PhD policy. As a founding member of the Una Europa Alliance, the university is piloting the interdisciplinary programme “Una Europa Cultural Heritage” (Una Her Doc) , which allows students to obtain joint degrees from two co-supervising universities in this alliance.

Educate and train future top international researchers - ambassadors of ESCP research excellence, future peers and collaborators in research.

Join our unique programme in the vibrant city of paris and become part of our dynamic phd students’ community.

Doing a PhD is a great intellectual and personal journey. It is the foundational step of a stimulating professional trajectory. We have developed a four-year programme that is demanding but helps each student to reach international standards of research quality. Our Ph.D programme offers a great environment where our PhD students are provided not only with the indispensable academic and financial guidance but also with social and moral support. This supportive environment is a cornerstone for their academic fulfilment.

Our distinctive objective is to strive for academic excellence and at the same time produce “relevant” and impact-oriented knowledge for society and organisations.

Prof. Valentina Carbone Dean, PhD Programme

Our programme values

Knowledge diversity.

Doing the PhD programme gives an opportunity to invest in one of the five specialisation tracks. The students will explore several methodological perspectives. In addition, we also foster transversal initiatives across knowledge fields and methodologies. We value exchanges with PhD students from our Berlin campus and we actively support international exposure of research activities.

Research Collaboration

If research is sometimes considered as an individual, even solitary, activity, at ESCP the students will be part of a research community encompassing our six European campuses. During your four-year curriculum, PhD students will benefit from close supervision in departments and will learn through co-writing with the faculty staff. Your success is our success, and vice versa.

Professional Ambition

Doing the ESCP programme gives the opportunity to open new and ambitious professional horizons. Whatever the post doctorate objectives - joining the academic or the business research world-, we support ambitions to go “one step further”. Joining a top university research team; boosting the R&D activities of a cutting-edge organisation.

Progress workshop.

The doctoral students each present their progress in their research study at least once per year. The objective is to no evaluate the work but to help the student in his or her research orientation. This workshop gathers doctoral students, the thesis director, the programme director and other professors chosen internally or externally in accordance with the thesis subject.

Annual Assessment

Each doctoral student presents a general result of his or her activities (thesis, publications, teachings, assistance, etc.) and his or her projects planned for the following year. The objective is to validate the work done in the previous year and to prepare the stages planned for the following year. The participants are the thesis director, the programme director and possibly other professors chosen internally or externally. It takes place in September.

Pre Defence

With potential members of the jury (referees) about six months before the end of the project.

Visiting Opportunities

The admission process is composed of 3 steps

The official online application process: completion of the application form by candidates before the deadline specified in the Admission Calendar and provision of the required documents. Candidates selected by the admissions jury after a first screening will have half an hour to present their background and motivation to the interview panel made up of programme directors and faculty members. Alternatively, a video interview can be offered to candidates.

After the interview the selected candidates receive the admission decision of the final selection Committee. Admitted candidates must confirm their acceptance by the deadline indicated in the offer letter.

Selection Process

List of required documents.

The official online application process: completion of the application form by candidates, before the deadline specified in the Admission Calendar, and provision of the required documents:

• Motivation letter
• Up to date resume
• Research Statement (1500-2000 words)
• 3 recommendation letters (a minimum of 2 academics and 1 professional if relevant). You may download the template here
• copies of diplomas and degrees,
• transcripts of most recent degrees,
• IELTS or TOEFL results as a proof of English language proficiency (required score: IELTS 7, TOEFL 100).  Both TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and IELTS are serving as a proof of a good working knowledge in English. Non-native English speakers applying to the programme are required to take the test unless they have a university degree from an institution located in an English-speaking country. Test score should not be older than 4 years to be acceptable.
• any research material that might be useful (dissertation, paper...) in .pdf format,
• copy of your ID or passport,
• 1 digital photo,
• application fees (20€) and payment agreement

Your research statement

The research statement (around 4-5 pages long) should give you the opportunity to present a research topic you would like to study. This research topic does not necessarily commit you once for all and leaves room forpossible re-orientations. It must however, give you the opportunity to make a first academic contribution - ie to present a topic with a research question, elements of theory to address your research question, and a first idea of your research design. Your research statement should specify the following points:

• what your research issue is;
• why this research issue makes sense (theoretical perspective);
• why this research issue is relevant (empirical perspective);
• what your research design could be.

This research statement really matters to optimise the match between your objectives and the requirements of a PhD thesis. Of course, we are aware that you are at the beginning of the process. That is why during your first year you are free to consolidate, modify and sometimes redraft your research project.

Your motivation letter

Your motivation letter will help the jury to understand better what your expectations are, and how you see your evolution in the programme and beyond. Entering a post master programme for four years is a huge decision. We need to be mutually convinced that it is really the right choice for you. Do not forget to justify your choice of specialisation or indicate whether you are still open to different options.

Paris Doctoral Programme Fees and financials

Tuition fees.

• Year 1: €15,000
• Year 2: €12,500
• Year 3: €12,500
• Year 4: €12,500

However, a legal token registration fee of ± €400 per year for the Doctoral School applies (including CVEC).

ESCP scholarship

ESCP finances a significant proportion of admitted PhD students with a scholarship guaranteed for 4 years. From the 2 nd year, this scholarship is combined with a doctoral contract including teaching, tutoring and research assistance for a total of €23,000.

Each candidate can apply for this cost-of-living scholarship, but it cannot be combined with any other external income. These scholarships are granted on the basis of the excellence of the application.

Students who have received a scholarship are exempt from tuition fees, but not from registration fees.

External Fundings

CIFRE (Conventions Industrielles de Formation par la Recherche) These agreements bring together three partners: a company, a PhD student and a University around a research project, which will lead to a doctoral thesis. The company benefits from an ANRT (Association Nationale Recherche Technologies) subsidy for hiring a PhD student for three years.

Research Projects: Another possibility is the financing of the PhD scholarship by a research project developed in collaboration with one or several companies. The research project can be a stand-alone initiative or supported by one of our chairs at ESCP.

Financial aid from the French Government: In addition to the financial aid for which they are eligible in their country of origin, non-French students can seek grants from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Requests should be sent to the Cultural Department of the French Embassy in the student’s country of origin. PhD students can also apply for European exchange programme grants (Socrates, Erasmus, Phare). This aid cannot be combined with the ESCP scholarship.

Pierre Louis Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health

The Pierre Louis Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health is a unique laboratory gathering all the research forces in Epidemiology and Public Health within Sorbonne Université. The Institute is covering the main domains of epidemiology, whether clinical, populational or social, as well as pharmacoepidemiology, biostatistics, statistical and mathematical modelling, relations between environment and health status, social determinants of health, and health care organization. In terms of applications we are dealing mainly with communicable diseases (influenza, HIV infection, viral hepatitis, …), nosocomial and emerging infections, with chronic diseases (inflammatory chronic diseases, respiratory, allergic and cardiovascular diseases), with psychiatric disorders and with critical care.

Published on 22/11/2019 - Updated on 20/06/2023

Team 1- Communicable Diseases Surveillance and Modelling

Communicable diseases surveillance and modelling (sumo).

Pierre-Yves Boëlle

Team ” Surveillance and modelling of communicable diseases ” was created within the Pierre Louis Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health (IPLESP) in 2014. The team is composed of specialists in disease surveillance (general medicine, nosocomial infections, travel related diseases) and in computerized and statistical modelling of epidemics (influenza, HIV and emerging diseases in particular). This combination of skills allows pursuing a common scientific objective: to develop innovative integrated information systems to support public health decision-making in infectious disease surveillance and control.

Team 2- Clinical epidemiology of chronic viral diseases

Clinical epidemiology of chronic viral diseases (clepivir).

Fabrice Carrat

The CLEPIVIR team focuses on the clinical epidemiology of chronic viral diseases: HIV, hepatitis B, C and Delta and coinfections. Researchers in this team coordinate the main thematic cohorts in these areas: the FHDH, French Hospital Database on HIV infection – ANRS CO4; the ANRS CO22 HEPATHER cohort on hepatitis B and C; and the French HIV-HBV multicenter cohort. They also develop and use specific statistical methods to estimate the effect of treatment from observational data.

Team 3- Therapeutic strategies for HIV infection and associated viral diseases

Therapeutic strategies for hiv infection and associated viral diseases (theravir).

Anne-Geneviève Marcelin and Christine Katlama

The team TheraVir “Therapeutic strategies for HIV infection and associated viral diseases” is an alliance from basic to clinical and population-based research towards medical progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It provides a unique opportunity to mix basic scientists, clinicians involved in infectious disease research, epidemiologists and statisticians.

Team 4- Neighborhood Environments and Mobility: Effects on Social helath InequalitieS

Neighborhood environments and mobility: effects on social helath inequalities (nemesis).

Basile Chaix

The Nemesis team investigates how the multiple life environments of people and their spatial mobility behaviors that link these environments to each other influence health behavior and health status. In this work, we focus on behavioral, clinical, and biological risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, as well as on other aspects of health (including respiratory and mental health). Using wearable sensors of location, behaviors, exposures, and health carried by study participants, we investigate the impact of urban neighborhoods on health and the effect of the transport modes of people on health. In this work, the team develops methodologies for the measurement of mobility and behavior.

Team 5- Epidemiology of allergic and respiratory diseases

Epidemiology of allergic and respiratory diseases (epar).

Isabella Annesi-Maesano

The team “Epidemiology of Allergic and Respiratory Diseases” (EPAR) studies the development of main allergic and respiratory diseases whose incidence has been increasing for 40 years by an exposomic approach using connected objects, data mining and EWAS. EPAR has established the European Environmental Data Management System (EDMS).  www.epar.fr

Team 6- Pharmacoepidemiology and healthcare assessment

Pharmacoepidemiology and healthcare assessment (pepites).

Florence Tubach

The team gathers epidemiologists, biostatisticians, pharmacists, and clinical physicians. The corresponding multidisciplinary research involves evaluating the risk benefit balance of health products, with a focus on high risk populations such as the elderly or patients in intensive care, biologics in various indications, and the assessment of healthcare organization.

Research is supported by ad hoc field studies, and by the use of healthcare databases such as the Système National des Données de Santé, and hospital data wharehouse. The projects involve the use or the development of various methods, e.g., causal inference in observational data, modeling exposure to medication, Comparative Effectiveness Research, meta-analyses and meta-epidemiology, e-cohorts.

Team 7 – Social Epidememiology research team

Social epidememiology research team (eres).

Maria Melchior

Our team is a leading group in social epidemiology in France. We aim to:

a) improve knowledge of social determinants of health ;

b) assess interventions reducing social inequalities in health and healthcare use, to help clinicians/ public health experts adapt their practices because, despite continued increases in longevity, social inequalities in health have widened.
