Research At The University
The following sampling of statistics demonstrate the importance of research at Paris 1:
The eleven hundred members of faculty, 200 researchers who are attached to major research institutions, mainly the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research), and 150 technical and administrative staff are grouped in 68 research groups recognised by the CNRS and the Ministry of Education and Research.
Every year around 400 PhD theses are defended and 1,700 pre-PhD post-graduate degrees are awarded in 74 subjects divided between 15 graduate schools.
The scope of research is vast, as can be seen by the number and variety of high quality conferences and colloquia organised by the different research centres. The themes provide a meeting point between science and culture and cover different aspects of the relationships between the individual and society.
Research programs exist in economics, management and applied mathematics; in law and politics; in philosophy and the arts; in history, art history and archaeology; in geography, demography and sociology, to name but some.

Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”
