Condorcet Campus

The EPHE is a founding member of the Condorcet Campus project which will create an urban university complex for advanced (master’s to postdoctoral) studies in the human and social sciences.

The Campus will occupy two sites, located in Paris (at Porte de la Chapelle) and at Aubervilliers (near La Plaine-Stade de France station on the rapid transit RER B line and the planned extension of the Paris Metro’s line no. 12).

Financed as part of the “Operation Campus” initiative launched by the State and local authorities, the Condorcet Campus will become a national and European center of reference, based on the number and quality of its research units and the international standard of its facilities and accommodations. Research and training will be primarily offered in four fields:

•  Historical sciences
•  Textual sciences
•  Territorial sciences
•  Societal sciences

The Scientific Cooperation Foundation of the Campus (Fondation de coopération scientifique Campus Condorcet) was created in 2009, grouping the nine sponsors of the project:

•  The Ecole des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales
•  The Ecole Pratique des Hautes Études
•  University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
•  University of Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis
•  University of Paris 13 Nord
•  The Ecole Nationale des Chartes
•  The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
•  The Institut National d’Études Démographiques
•  The Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme

The Foundation is chaired by Jean-Claude Waquet. Jean-Claude Schmitt, full professor at the Ecole des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, chairs its Scientific Council.
