Laboratoire CEREGE

What Laboratoire CEREGE does

Laboratoire CEREGE (CEntre de REcherche en GEstion, UR 13564) is a French public university research laboratory in management and business sciences, administratively embedded within IAE Poitiers at the Université de Poitiers. Founded in 1981 as an Equipe d'Accueil (EA 1722) and restructured in 2023 into a formal Unité de Recherche (UR 13564), the laboratory brings together approximately 110 researchers, teacher-researchers, and doctoral students across four thematic axes: COMIN (Culture, Consumption, Mediations, Image and Digital), DOORS (Organizational Dynamics, Tools, Regulation, and Society), ISI (International Strategic Intelligence), and MPT (Public Management and Territories). Its core products are doctoral training programs (a master's in research and the doctoral school), scholarly publications and books, an annual doctoral colloquium ("Management en Action"), and a public-facing podcast/event series ("Regards Croisés"). The laboratory also co-hosts international research seminars (e.g., the Euro-Asia International Research Seminar) and maintains partnerships with UNESCO, IH2EF, EDHEC Business School, Maison des sciences de l'homme et de la société, and the Poitiers Doctoral College.

CEREGE is a non-profit academic entity; it does not sell products or services and operates with no commercial pricing layer. Its revenue model consists of public research funding routed through Université de Poitiers, including institutional research grants and doctoral program funding, with the underlying GTM motion being community-led via doctoral programs, transversal seminars, doctoral workshops, and research colloquia.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• IAE de Nantes (LEMNA): Management research lab at Université de Nantes operating under the IAE model with doctoral programs. Regional peer to CEREGE because it operates a similar university-based research model but serves the Pays de la Loire region rather than Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Direct peers

• IAE Lyon School of Management: Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3's IAE, hosting management research and doctoral training comparable to CEREGE. Same IAE institutional model, similar mix of master's, doctoral, and publication-oriented research activity.
• BETA – Bureau d'Économie Théorique et Appliquée: CNRS-associated research unit at Université de Strasbourg covering economics and management. Peer because it shares CEREGE's profile of a multi-axes French academic research unit with doctoral programs and policy-facing scholarship.
• Centre de Gestion Scientifique (Mines Paris – PSL): Management sciences research laboratory at Mines Paris – PSL focused on organizational and innovation research. Comparable to CEREGE as a French doctoral-training research unit publishing in management and social sciences.
• IAE Paris-Sorbonne (Sorbonne Business School): French university-based management research institute within Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Direct peer because, like CEREGE, it is an IAE-affiliated research unit producing doctoral training and management sciences scholarship through structured thematic axes.
• IREM – IAE de Montpellier: Montpellier-based management research unit linked to the IAE network. Comparable to CEREGE as a regional French university research lab producing theses and management scholarship.
• Montpellier Recherche en Management (MRM): University of Montpellier management research lab structured around multiple thematic axes and doctoral programs. Directly comparable to CEREGE in scope, scale, and academic positioning within the French management research ecosystem.
• IAE de Toulouse: Université Toulouse 1 Capitole's IAE, a French management research and training institute. Peer because it operates the same IAE-based model as CEREGE, combining management sciences research with master's and doctoral programs.

Broad incumbents

• IESEG School of Management: French business school with a research department spanning management and economics. Broader incumbent peer because, while larger and more commercially oriented, it overlaps with CEREGE in producing management sciences research and doctoral-level scholarship.
• EDHEC Business School: Major French business school with a substantial management research faculty and doctoral offerings. Comparable to CEREGE through an existing partnership and overlapping research themes, though operating at significantly greater scale and with broader program scope.
