The Women & Science Chair at Paris-Dauphine University, created in 2019 with the support of the L'Oréal Foundation, Generali, La Poste and Talan, aims to mobilize and develop multidisciplinary approaches to analyze the determinants and the impact of the low presence of women in scientific studies and careers. 

The Women & Science Chair aims to develop and disseminate works, research and knowledge, at national and international level, on girls and women in scientific fields, studies and professions, the term "scientific" refers to exact he natural sciences, with the purpose to:

• understand the determinants of the lower representation of women in scientific careers,
• to analyze the role of the various factors in the entourage which have an impact on the differentiation of trajectories between girls and boys, and women and men: stereotypes, parents, teachers, men, etc
• examine the links between the scientific orientation and academic performance (results in scientific disciplines and also in literary disciplines)
• better understand, through international benchmarks, the role of socio-cultural factors and to better analyze the relevance of public policies,
• analyze the impact of a science that does not consider gender in the design of studies
• analyze the impact of the absence or under-representation of women in the scientific sectors on the quality of research and the different orientations
• evaluate the solutions, policies and experiences put in place.

The Governance and Regulation Chair is devoted to regulatory systems. The chair's goal is to contribute to developing more efficient regulatory frameworks that better account for the economic community's needs and constraints, public policy objectives, and user interests, and to elaborating the legal tools necessary to ensure that the systems are coherent and secure.

The Chair engages in three types of initiative:

• Research projects that focus on the organization and assessment of regulatory systems in order to formulate recommendations to improve regulatory frameworks and tools
• Academic initiatives for traditional university and executive education programs. On this note, the Chair launched an Executive Master's in Competition and Regulation for the 2015-2016 academic year. The program is designed to train experts in the economic, strategic and legal aspects of regulation
• Encourage and organize public debate on governance and regulation by engaging in knowledge sharing and dissemination for a broad-based audience and by organizing working groups, conferences and symposia that bring together regulatory actors and stakeholders.
