About LA CERISE
Established in 2011 in Vaucluse, France, LA CERISE operates as an independent research observatory and macroeconomic advisory institute dedicated to open, empirical inquiry into energy transition policies and industrial decarbonization.
Over 15 Years of Rigorous Analytical Independence
LA CERISE was founded in 2011 with a singular mandate: to bridge the critical gap between academic energy modeling and practical policy governance. Operating from our central facility in Vaucluse, France, we have grown from a specialized economic research group into a recognized European authority on renewable transition architectures and carbon tariff mechanics.
Our research model maintains total institutional autonomy. We do not accept partisan political financing or undisclosed commercial sponsorships, ensuring that every published monograph, statistical digest, and regulatory briefing reflects uncompromised empirical rigor.
Executive Leadership
Guided by experienced researchers committed to scientific transparency and open data governance.
