Research

Enssib hosts, supports and promotes research in information science, the history of books, heritage and libraries, as well as the anthropology of knowledge and the contemporary library.
Led since 2017 by Pascal Robert, research is part of Enssib’s statutory missions and is a strong focus the Enssib plan. Research contributes to the teaching provided and gives rise to scientific publications, the organisation of conferences, study days and seminars.
Enssib's scientific policy is driven by the research department with the support of the Scientific Council, notably when it comes to the scientific direction of scientific activity and the funding of research projects carried out by Enssib’s teacher-researchers.
