RUC Vice President HE Yaomin welcomed Vice Chancellor Christophe Elie-Dit-Cosaque to RUC.

In March, RUC invited Singapore Management University (SMU) and University of Paris Dauphine to establish SIGMA “Social influence and global governance”, to use this platform to promote interdisciplinary teaching, production, and research. Academics have transformed and increased opportunities for students to gain exposure to these social practices.

Vice Chancellor Christophe Elie-Dit-Cosaque expressed his gratitude towards RUC. He said that the University of Paris Dauphine economics and management disciplines are among the best of public universities in Paris.
