What Institut de Recherche en Gestion does

Institut de Recherche en Gestion (IRG) is a French public university research laboratory classified as an Équipe d'Accueil (EA 2354), founded in 2010 and headquartered in Créteil, Île-de-France, France. It is jointly hosted by Université Gustave Eiffel and Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), operating as a non-commercial academic unit dedicated to the field of management sciences (Sciences de Gestion et du Management). The laboratory employs 49 people and serves the academic community, including doctoral candidates pursuing the Doctorat and Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR), as well as faculty researchers.

IRG's research agenda is organized around five thematic axes: sustainability of territories, vulnerabilities and inclusion (Axe A); pedagogical innovations and university dynamics (Axe B); sustainability of management models and practices (Axe C); transformations of work and health (Axe D); and digital transitions, appropriations and resistances (Axe E). The laboratory supports this research with structured doctoral training, scientific events, and publication channels including LinkedIn, The Conversation, Fnege Médias, and an internal newsletter. Its outputs consist primarily of academic publications, organized colloquia and seminars, and training of doctoral scholars.

IRG's business model is not commercial: it is funded through public university channels and French academic research grants (typically via the Ministry of Higher Education and Research framework that supports Équipes d'Accueil). Revenue is not disclosed publicly in commercial terms. The laboratory markets its work through digital media channels (LinkedIn, The Conversation, Fnege Médias, newsletter) and engages prospective doctoral candidates and faculty through brochures and programmatic communications. There is no pricing model, no paying customer base, and no externally disclosed commercial revenue stream.
