Governance, Decisions, Transitions


Presentation
The Graduate School of Governance, Decisions, Transitions aims to offer innovative and interdisciplinary training programmes in collaboration with affiliated research centers and faculty members from the Faculty of Law, Economics, and Management. These programmes aim to teach practical skills, such as conducting research in law, economics, and management using methods and ethics that are taught and practiced together with students. They also aim to foster a sense of civic responsibility by educating citisens who are aware of the challenges posed by political, democratic, ecological, and technological transitions in our society.
Students will study changes in political regimes and international relations, new responsibilities imposed on businesses such as social responsibility and duty of vigilance, and the impacts of new technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, on human and institutional relationships.
With the support of five research centers and numerous faculty members from the Faculty of Law, Economics, and Management, the Graduate School of Governance, Decisions, Transitions promotes the teaching of these disciplines through seminars on research methodology and ethics, and develops innovative training programs on governing transitions.
