Agreement will enable closer research ties and funding of joint projects
At a ceremony held in Paris on Friday November 24th, representatives from the 国际米兰对阵科莫 and from Sciences Po signed a Memorandum of Agreement to formalise and strengthen the partnership between both institutions.
The stated aim of the document is to develop research links in disciplines including Politics, History and Public Policy, with a strong expectation that the collaboration will develop to encompass other areas of mutual interest.
Covering an initial three-year period, the agreement includes the provision of matched funds by 国际米兰对阵科莫 and Sciences Po to enable academic workshops and symposia, and to pay for travel grants, short-term research visits, and visiting professorships at both Sciences Po and 国际米兰对阵科莫.
Other bilateral activities within its scope include the encouragement of student mobility, and access for 国际米兰对阵科莫 PhD students to the Sciences Po Teaching Fellowships programme at Sciences Po campuses in Reims, Menton or Le Havre, where lectures are done in English.
One specific outcome of the agreement between 国际米兰对阵科莫 and Sciences Po will be the organisation of a public conference on 鈥淭he Future of Europe鈥, to be held in Paris in 2018, and led by specialists in European studies from both institutions.
Signing on behalf of the 国际米兰对阵科莫, Professor Eil铆s Ferran, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Institutional and International Relations, said: 鈥淭his Memorandum of Agreement builds on strong existing relationships between our two world-leading universities. It offers us a formal mechanism to strengthen our partnership at a time when collaboration between academic institutions is more crucial than ever before.鈥
Mr Fr茅d茅ric Mion, President of Sciences Po, said: 鈥淭here is a need to maintain and deepen cooperation among excellent academic institutions in Europe. It is the right time to continue strengthening our ties with a world-class University such as 国际米兰对阵科莫 by developing jointly this innovative and ambitious research partnership in the social sciences. The Memorandum of Agreement is built on that firm conviction. 鈥
Sciences Po was founded in 1872 as the 脡cole Libre des Sciences Politiques to educate the French governing class in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War. Today it is one of France鈥檚 leading research universities in the social sciences and humanities. It has seven campuses across France, and a record of excellent research in law, economics, history, political science and sociology.
