History of the EPHE

Created by imperial decree of July 31st, 1868 on the initiative of Victor Duruy, then Minister for the State education, the practical School of the high studies was not only to introduce research into the university world but, more still, to make of it a privileged instrument of formation for all. In 1868, the EPHE was divided into four sections:
  • Mathematical (IE section)
  • Physical and chemistry (IIe section)
  • Natural science and physiology (IIIe section)
  • historical and philological Sciences (IVe section)

In 1886, the EPHE was increased of Ve section, Sciences religious, and Life section, Economic scenes and social, created well later in 1947. Little time after, the IE and IIe sections was attached either to the universities, or with CNRS. The École of the high studies in social sciences (EHESS) is resulting from the autonomisation, in 1975, of the Life section.

It currently includes/understands three sections and an institute:
