Following the recent launch of the Certificate for Gender Equality, or “Certificat egalité femmes-hommes” at Sciences Po, the Founder and Executive Director of the Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP) at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Victoria Budson, came to lecture on women in U.S. politics. She was joined by Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, former French Minister of Women’s Affairs, and first French woman to be appointed Minister of Education and Research.

This April 2019, recipients of the Seydoux scholarship gathered together to meet and talk with Jérôme Seydoux and Sciences Po’s President Frédéric Mion. 

Sciences Po joined the HeforShe movement in June 2015, when Frédéric Mion became the only IMPACT 10x10x10 champion at a French university. On the 3rd April 2019, Sciences Po hosted a HeforShe panel discussion with various champions to talk about change at an institutional level, share the progress made, and pass on the baton to the younger generation in the battle for gender equality. 

Sciences Po students love to debate, and therefore it is no surprise that Sciences Po has numerous debate clubs, workshops, and even a debate team. What is perhaps more surprising is that the Sciences Po Debate team debates in English, using British Parliamentary style. This year, for the 26th Edition of the annual French Debating Association Tournament, Sciences Po made it all the way to the finals - losing against the Ecole Polytechnique. 

Every year, Sciences Po students interested in European internships or careers have the opportunity to attend the European Internships Forum which takes place in Brussels, jointly organized by Sciences Po, LSE (London School of Economics), and the College of Europe. Watch the video to see what students gained from the internship fair.
