LIEPP Governance

LIEPP's governance is organized around three bodies.

The laboratory council, including the research groups directors, is responsible for the implementation and regular monitoring of the laboratory's project.

The scientific committee is a body of dialogue and orientation which meets once or twice a year to validate LIEPP's annual activity programme, its global budgetary perspectives, and to discuss the results obtained.

The Strategic advisory board, composed of internationally recognised experts, evaluates the scientific quality of the work and gives strategic advice, particularly on the international positioning of LIEPP. The members of the Strategic advisory board are appointed for a three-year term, renewable once. They meet every two years to discuss with LIEPP's direction the laboratory's strategy and development prospects. 

The new Strategic advisory board is being established.

Charter of Commitment & Deontology Charter 

The rules governing the affiliation and the association of LIEPP members are explained in the laboratory's charter of commitment. This charter specifies the arrangments of signature, the support given by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and the etchic codes, which assure the independence and the neutrality of the laboratory. 

LIEPP also possess a deontology charter, along with the other two excellent laboratories, IDEP in Marseille and IPP in Paris School of Economics. This ethic code consists of the engagement to declare all potential conflicts of interest and not to accept scientific project evaluation for which the publications of its results are restricted.
