Governance

The EPHE-PSL is headed by a President, administered by a board of directors, and assisted by a scientific council. It has three sections (Section of Life and Earth Sciences, Section of Historical and Philological Sciences, Section of Religious Sciences), three institutes, about forty research units and several libraries. The strategic policy of the EPHE-PSL is to develop—through applied research—high-level scholarship that responds to current societal challenges.

The President is also accompanied by project managers on targeted subjects.
