It is the only Graduate School in the region with a focus on creativity. It unites:

• 9 academic and research departments.
• 7 art schools.
• The SHAL Doctoral School of Societies, Humanities, Arts and Literature.
• 8 research laboratories.
• And has ties with the Center for Humanities and Social Sciences (MSHS).

Human societies are constantly reinventing themselves and developing new ways of thinking and acting in all fields of knowledge. This creativity, understood in its broadest sense, is the focus of the multidisciplinary CREATES Graduate School, as it applies to the fields of ideas and categories, discourses and works, forms and artefacts, techniques and cultures, and takes into account production and reception systems together with their epistemology. The Graduate School studies the complex processes behind the emergence of novelty and how it trnsforms in return the elements at its foundation. Along with the notion of creativity, the concepts of transformation and emergence are thus at the heart of the Graduate School's themes.
