Governance

L’Ecole d’économie & de Sciences sociales quantitatives de Toulouse – TSE

The TSE "Ecole d’économie & de Sciences sociales quantitatives" ("school of economics and quantitative social sciences" – TSE) is  an  independent  GE  that  manages  the undergraduate, master’s and PhD programmes and jointly manages research with the UMR TSE-R laboratory and the JJL Foundation.  Its governance structure consists of a Board of Directors with a majority of external members, including some appointed by the Jean-Jacques Laffont -TSE Foundation.
The Director of the Grand Etablissement is Victoria BARHAM.
 

The  JJ Laffont – TSE  Foundation 

is  a  scientific  cooperation  foundation  created  in 2007  as  part  of  a  State  tender  for  projects.  Among  the  public  founders  are  UTC,  the  CNRS, INRAE and EHESS. Its Board members are 85% external and its Scientific Council members are 100% external, the guarantee of governance without conflicts of interest. Their members share the  TSE  values  of  excellence.  The  Foundation  steers  TSE's  overall  strategy  and  contributes resources (financial and human) thanks to the return on its capital, the  capital  being  a  result  of  two  private  fund-raising  campaigns.  It  houses  two  foundations under aegis, one, TSE-P, which is responsible for TSE's partner-based research activities, and the other, IAST, which is responsible for multi-disciplinary social sciences research activities. 

The Managing Director of the Foundation is Karine VAN DER STRAETEN.

The  "Unité  mixte  de  recherche"  ("mixed  research  unit"  or  UMR  TSE-R)

is  a  laboratory  that houses most of the TSE researchers and teacher-researchers in economics and mathematics, supervised by the TSE GE, the French scientific research institute (CNRS), the French research institute  for  agronomy  (INRAE)  and  the  French  school  of  higher  education  in  social  sciences (EHESS). The UMR has its own director, administrative staff and Laboratory Council. The UMR helps to structure research within TSE, which will now be organised into departments enjoying a  certain  autonomy  in  scientific  matters,  resource  management,  recruitment,  and  teaching activities in connection with the school. 

The Managing Director of the UMR TSE-R  is Arnaud REYNAUD.
