The Centre d’Économie de la Sorbonne is a joint research unit (UMR 8174) created on 1 January 2006 under the supervision of the CNRS and the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. The laboratory is also associated to IRD.

Since 1 January 2019, the CES is headed by Agnieszka Rusinowska. The former directors of CES were Cuong Le Van (2006 – 2009), Jean-Marc Tallon (2010 – 2013) and Lionel Fontagné (2014 – 2018).

The laboratory is structured around 3 main research themes, bringing together 98 researchers and teacher-researchers, 17 emeritus professors and 112 doctoral students, who work on related topics and sub-disciplines.

The 3 research themes are:

• Interactions and behaviours
• Sustainable globalization
• Institutions and regulations

Each theme consists of 2 or 3 scientific programs which bring together colleagues working on the same sub-disciplines in economics.

Sorbonne Economics Centre has an internal Scientific Committee, made up of one representative from each theme, whose role is to stimulate scientific interaction between the themes. The Scientific Committee supports the CES management in steering the laboratory’s scientific policy and promotes scientific cooperation between the research themes. This Committee helps in the drafting of the scientific project, organizes the annual call for projects, the CES Days and the young talents seminars. It proposes job profiles and promotes applications to the CNRS.
