Sciences Po is part of the social fabric and has special responsibility for training and disseminating intellectual content.

Training talented young people with disabilities
Sciences Po pays particular attention to the issue of accessibility and equal opportunity for persons with disabilities, setting up working groups bringing together students and professionals; having its buildings audited and upgrading its facilities; creating international mobility scholarships; setting up a special information page on the internship and initial employment website; and implementing digital accessibility.

The Equal Opportunity and Diversity Centre: diversified recruitment procedures to reach out to talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. In 2001, Sciences Po initiated the Priority Education Agreements – a selection procedure targeting high school students in Priority Education Zones signing an agreement with Sciences Po.

Sustainable development is a strategic focus at Sciences Po. This translates into concrete action in all three aspects - economic, social and environmental - of sustainable development.
