The laboratories

The Research Directorate (DR) draws up and manages the implementation of the School’s scientific and research policy, developed within 12 laboratories, most of them run in partnership with other academic or economic actors. Through the Laboratory Council, the DR fosters discussions on future scientific developments within the School, encourages the sharing of key features of the laboratories, their communities, or their affiliates.
