Centre for the History of Societies, Sciences and Conflicts (CHSSC)
Research unit - UR 4289
The Centre for the History of Societies, Sciences and Conflicts was formed from a centre grouping
together lecturer-researchers in history. It has opened up to researchers from other disciplines (philosophers, historians of science, psychologists, geographers, doctors, etc.) to work in a transdisciplinary manner, in particular on questions of conflict, and especially warlike conflicts, notably the First World War.
The CHSSC has become a reference centre in France
on this issue, working in symbiosis with the Historial Great War research centre in Péronne (Historial de la Grande Guerre), without neglecting the conflicts of other eras (for example those of the modern era). It is also, in the French university landscape, an important centre for the history and epistemology of science. Several of its researchers have been or are members of the French University Institute (Institut Universitaire de France).

On November 9, 2018, the commitment of the CHSSC was welcomed by the State: in the presence of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation Frédérique Vidal, the President of the University of Picardy Jules Verne and the President of the International Research Centre of the Historial of the Great War (CIRHGG)- based in Péronne - signed a convention.
