Professional development for PhD students
Professional development for PhD students is a priority for the School of Research.
Sciences Po Careers
Sciences Po Careers prepares, guides and facilitates Sciences Po students’ transition to professional life for up to two years after graduation.

Civica
IVICA brings together the research communities of eight major European universities, including Sciences Po. The objective is to create a European research space for the humanities and social sciences, based on shared resources, facilities and pools of expertise. Through a variety of joint initiatives and opportunities, CIVICA enables PhD students and researchers to discuss current research, advance their professional and methodological skills, team up for collaborative projects, and network with colleagues working on similar topics.
CIVICA's offerings at the (post)doctoral level include the catalogue of courses for junior researchers, summer schools, methods and skills workshops, and doctoral conferences. For researchers, CIVICA offers rich opportunities for collaboration and exchange on current and emerging European challenges, notably through CIVICA Research.
