After studying art history, Edith Buser acquired her first professional experience in the art world through the organization of exhibitions, which familiarized her with the workings of cultural institutions. Building on this experience, in 2001 she joined Dauphine -PSL to manage the national and European research contracts of the LEDA LEGOS health economics laboratory, and quickly became the institution’s first “valorisation” officer. Since 2018, she has been Deputy Director of Research at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs Paris, where she has contributed to structuring the activities of the pi EnsadLab laboratory (a pioneer in France), organizing the Research Council, and developing research projects with public and private partners.
