The Doctoral School 624, created from the merger of DS 382 EESC and part of DS 180 SHS, has two locations: an office in the Sorbonne (in the historic building in the Latin Quarter, Galerie Gerson, staircase G2) and an office in the Olympe de Gouges building (Campus Paris Rive Gauche).

DS 624 is fundamentally multidisciplinary: based on the disciplines it brings together (anthropology, architecture, economics, geography, history & civilizations, political philosophy, sociology, etc.), it tries to promote interdisciplinary, even transdisciplinary research. The school host nearly 350 doctoral students working in fifteen laboratories of various status, composition and orientation.
