Sciences Po Rennes contributes to research development in the social sciences with other post-secondary institutions. This endeavor is supported by the CNRS Arènes laboratory and by the broad range of work led by our research faculty.
Scientific vision
Research at Sciences Po Rennes is guided by:
- a strategy to establish our institution as a leader in research on the transformation of public policy and develop interdisciplinary research
- a focus on three fields — transitions and social change, inequalities and democracy, regions and governance
- a research center on public policy in Europe with the ARENES joint research laboratory (CNRS)
- A “Regions and Changing Trends in Public Policy” Chair (TMAP) to explore new public policy trends

The ARENES laboratory
ARÈNES promeut l’originalité d’une unité de recherche, l’UMR 6051 qui rassemble des chercheurs travaillant le « politique » sous des aspects aussi variés que l’usage des médias et les métiers du politique, l’analyse des politiques publiques que la sociologie de l’engagement et des mobilisations dans des domaines spécifiques comme la santé, la jeunesse, les personnes âgées, les publics vulnérables, les faits migratoires, l’environnement et les territoires, les processus de démocratisation, qui s’inscrivent dans les orientations scientifiques des établissements tutelles, universités, Sciences Po Rennes et l’EHESP. Le CNRS apporte son soutien sur des thématiques émergentes.
Three multidisciplinary teams develop federating scientific research in the following areas:
- Social and health policies — Inequalities and Populations (Directors: Blanche Le Bihan, Claude Martin, Béatrice Valdes)
- Activism, politics and media (Directors: Christophe Gimbert, Christine Guionnet, Bleuwenn Lechaux)
- Institutions and levels of public policy (Directors: Thomas Frinaultet Sébastien Ségas)
