The Alliance Program

Created in the fall 2002, the Alliance Program is a non-profit transatlantic joint-venture between Columbia University and three French prestigious institutions, The École Polytechnique, Sciences Po and the Université of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne.
Alliance is an innovative program whose aim is to initiate and accompany new initia-tives in the fields of education cooperation, research collaboration, and policy out-reach. Over the last four years the Alliance’s scope of activities have included the organization of numerous academic conferences both in Paris and in New York, the setting up of international multidisciplinary research teams, and the creation of joint-courses and curricula targeting the students of its founding partners.
The American Center is working in close partnership with the Alliance Program on various transatlantic projects.

Global Public Policy Network

The Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) is a partnership between Columbia University, the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore and Sciences Po, Paris. GPPN is global in two ways: the global spread of its members and its subject focus on emerging global trends in public policy.
The mission of GPPN is to address the most pressing public policy challenges of the 21st century and, as a result, to have policy impact, to be influential in public policy education and training, and to be innovative in teaching and research. GPPN aims to do this through:
• innovative, research-led teaching programmes for students
• cutting edge, collaborative research that is relevant to pressing global problems
• high quality publications that are accessible to researchers and practitioners alike
• conferences and events that brings teachers, researchers and policy-makers together
• high quality executive education and training for policy makers

European networks

Since their launch in 1984, the Framework Programmes of the European Commission have played a lead role in multidisciplinary research and cooperative activities in Europe and beyond.

Sciences Po is a part of it, thanks to its European Office for Research, which assists the scientific community in being selected by the EC as a sound scientific partner. See a detailed description of the European networks in which we are (in English).

Throughout the European Office for Research, Sciences Po takes part to the network RISE - Raising the Impact of the Social sciences and Economics, an international network of research universities in the area of the social sciences and economics. The member institutions share the wish to increase the impact of social sciences and economics on social problems, in particular in Europe. To achieve this RISE intends to :
* increase the relevance of the contributions of social sciences and economics to the solution of Europe’s social problems,
* raise awareness of such contributions in relevant political and academic circles as well as with the general public and
* enhance conditions to increase and strengthen such contributions in the future.

In addition, Sciences Po is the leader of Euredocs, a doctoral network on europeanisation of higher education and research.
