The Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (EPHE) is a large establishment French of Higher Education , whose stated mission is, in scientific fields it covers, "the development of research and training through research practice " History of the EPHE Created by imperial decree of 31 July 1868 on the initiative of Victor Duruy , then Minister of Education , the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, established "with scientific institutions under the Ministry of Public Instruction "was intended to" place next to the instruction, the exercises can strengthen and expand. " His teachers, who had the title of director of studies or work, could be recruited from outside the University and should not justify titles or degrees. Similarly, students could be admitted without having obtained a bachelor's degree, if they prove training from another field of experience, technical, professional or otherwise. Its creation allowed to open university education to experiences and new areas or practices that did not exist at the university, and offer a privileged instrument of education for all. The creation of this institution should be accompanied by a reorganization of university laboratories on a dual system of laboratories for teaching and research, each disseminating science, others in ensuring progress. French laboratories were beginning to be outclassed in terms of means and equipment, for those of the United States , of Germany and the United Kingdom , which convinced the Emperor Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte. At its inception, the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes was divided into four sections: The Practical School of Advanced Studies is designed as an administrative superstructure responsible for distributing the funds for training and advanced research. As an institution without walls, an expansion plan of the Sorbonne , the Museum and the Faculty of Medicine of Paris is also launched to provide space for new laboratories. The creation of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes openly inspired revival German university education in Paris and 5 in the provinces. According to the decree of July 31, 1868, students at the Ecole Pratique are admitted regardless of age, grade and nationality on the advice of a supervisor or laboratory and after a period of three months. Their schooling is more than three years. They are allowed to do normal lessons by teachers in their public lectures, conferences, special made either by the teachers themselves or by tutors, and the work of teaching laboratories. They are required to provide written work on specific issues and discussions of works of science or scholarship published in France and abroad . They are also required to perform on specific topics, research in libraries and museums, and produce the results in writing. Students of the Third Division took part in scientific excursions led by teachers, students of the First and Second sections take part in tours of factories known by their mechanical equipment or manufacturing processes. In 1869 , section, economics, was created at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes. This section was renamed in 1947 "Section VI, Economic and Social Sciences" . This section will eventually become autonomous for a large independent school, the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. In 1886 , the EPHE was enlarged with a fifth section, religious studies. The Graduate School of Social Science is based on empowerment, in 1975, the sixth section. The First and Second sections were removed in 1986 and attached either to universities or at the CNRS . It currently comprises three sections and three institutes: Since the early 2000s, the presidency is installed EPHE 46, rue de Lille in Paris. Until 2010, the humanities were taught in Paris at the Sorbonne. The life sciences and earth are distributed across universities with laboratories. In January 2011, were inaugurated the new premises leaving the humanities as a whole to settle at the Sorbonne 190-198, avenue de France in the France of the building The ZAC Tolbiac . In 2009, the lab already installed in Moorea ( French Polynesia ) becomes the basis of the Institute of Pacific coral reefs . EPHE is a scholarly institution of international renown whose primary mission is to train, through practice, the basic and applied research in life sciences and earth, historical and philological sciences and religious studies. The school brings together 240 faculty members (170 tutors and 70 lecturers) attached to teams and a thirty recipients of research. Conceived as a showcase for induction and training to the practice of high-level research, EPHE based on a number of joint research units associated with CNRS, universities, or large organizations specialized as INSERM and INRA. In September 2006, the EPHE and listeners welcomed 3200 students enrolled, including 32% foreign students. The lessons are taught by top researchers. Courses or seminars are available to all as an auditor.

EPHE continues to issue its own diplomas and more national university degrees and postgraduate ( masters and doctorate ), but also the authority to supervise research (HDR). EPHE maintains intensive exchanges with universities and research institutions in different parts of the world, including the priority of cooperation with Mediterranean countries and Asia. Each year the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes organizing a historical conference in collaboration with the French Institute of Administrative Sciences (IFSA).
