INTRODUCTION HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF THE UNIT

The Centre of Research in Epidemiology and Statistics Sorbonne Paris Cité (CRESS) was created in 2014, grouping initially five teams. The first incentive to create the centre was institutional. Two teams joined CRESS during the 2014-18 mandate and two additional teams will join in 2019. This will result in close to 350 collaborators, over 40% of them in a permanent position, including 42 full professors who will constitute the CRESS workforce.

SCIENTIFIC DOMAIN

The overarching goal of CRESS is to further develop and promote high quality and novel research in epidemiology and public health, allowing CRESS to become both an attractive internationally acknowledged research centre and the source of innovative solutions to be implemented in actual public health policies and practices. CRESS aims to develop epidemiological research for multiple chronic diseases, specific populations, developing novel methods and benefiting from access to or maintenance of several large cohort studies.

UNIT WORKFORCE

GLOBAL ASSESSMENT OF THE UNIT

The quality of the scientific research is excellent, even outstanding for several teams. The production of about 3000 scientific publications, with a large proportion in high impact journals between January 2012 and July 2017, constitutes an impressive achievement. For some of them, these articles were leaded by a member of the unit. In addition, national media disseminated numerous communications derived from research, and several projects influenced national health policy (e.g., Nutri-Score). Enhanced collaboration between research teams, fostered by various approaches, needs to be pursued in the next mandate. The national and international reputation of the unit is excellent, which was confirmed by international projects regarding the different teams and international funding which grows these latest years. Academic training for research is attractive with 65 PhD students.
