The EDSS was established in 2002, following the initiative of Reverend Father Sélim ABOU, with the aim of promoting research and enabling students to prepare their PhD in Lebanon, in a spirit of interdisciplinary openness. The EDSS aims to be a school, composed of researchers, teacher-researchers and PhD students, creating both a community and a research dynamic within USJ. Postgraduate training consists of research-based training focused on research and innovation. It is a professional research experience.
