Center for Political and Social Studies: Environment, Health, Territories (CEPEL)

CEPEL operates in the scientific fields of political science and sociology. The Public Health sector has gradually grown stronger, particularly due to spontaneous requests from hospital practitioners wishing to focus their scientific work on the humanities and social sciences.
CEPEL's development is in line with the scientific strategies of its supervisory bodies (UM/CNRS) and fits in with the themes specific to the Montpellier site (feeding, caring for, and protecting), while retaining its historical expertise in the field of public policy and comparative studies.
