Our know-how to achieve excellence
"Excellence is an art that can only be achieved through constant exercise
and we are what we repeatedly do;
excellence is therefore not an action, but a habit".

International networks and centres of excellence
European University : ENGAGE.EU
They are intended to serve as models by proposing good practices to further increase the quality, international competitiveness and attractiveness of European higher education.
The Université Toulouse Capitole participates in ENGAGE.EU, one of the selected consortia.
ENGAGE.EU is a consortium of seven universities sharing European values and a global perspective : University of Mannheim (Germany) - Coordinating University, Luiss Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli (Italy), NHH Norwegian School of Economics (Norway), Tilburg University (Netherlands), University of National and World Economy (Bulgaria), Université Toulouse Capitole (France), and WU Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria).
Jean Monnet Center for Excellence
In 2017, the members of the Research Institute in Comparative,International and European Law (IRDEIC) have once again been singled out by the European Commission: Nathalie Valdeyron has obtained a Jean Monnet Chair when Marc Blanquet has been appointed the head of the new Europe Capitole Centre for Excellence.
AERODS Centre of Excellence - Aerospace, Defence and Social Sciences
The centre of excellence benefits both from the expertise of researchers from numerous departments at Toulouse Capitole University (Toulouse School of Law, Faculty of Information Technology, Toulouse School of Management, Toulouse School of Economics and Sciences Po Toulouse) and from close partnerships with public and industrial stakeholders and several higher education and research institutions in the field of fundamental and applied sciences. In particular, it brings together a wide range of expertise through a consortium agreement with ONERA and ISAE-Supaero.
AERODS thus places aerospace defence policies and issues at the heart of research and training at Toulouse Capitole University.

TSE-P: Partnerships for Excellence in Research
This partnership-based research structure is the legacy left by Jean-Jacques Laffont, who was instrumental in the founding of the Toulouse School of Economics.
Thanks to his innovative vision of the need to forge links between research and the business world, he helped establish this highly original structure known as TSE-partenariats.
