TIERED
The Open Institute was created as part of TIERED - Transforming Interdisciplinary Education and Research for Evolving Democracies - a strategic project for Sciences Po. The project was awarded as a part of the ExcellencES call for projects under the 4th future investment program, and is implemented in collaboration with its partners: CNRS, IFREMER, INED, INRIA, INSERM, INALCO, Université Paris Cité, and IDDRI.
Funded for 10 years, TIERED was launched in January 2023 to meet the challenges posed to democratic systems by environmental and digital transformations.
Please note: State aid is managed by the Agence nationale de la recherche, under France 2030, under reference ANR-22-EXES-0014.
Mission and organization
TIERED's mission is to initiate a new phase in the development of research, academics, and the dissemination and transformation of knowledge.
TIERED, a strategic project for Sciences Po, is meant to bring about transformative organizational change that will enable the institution to assert its position as a leading research university in the social sciences and humanities on the governance and management of digital and environmental transformations. A dual strategy of reinforcing our expertise and opening up to other disciplines is being implemented for training and research, and greater interdisciplinarity is being promoted, notably through dialogue with the project's partners. TIERED is also pursuing a renewed strategy for impact of research and teaching activities, through greater interaction with and for society.
TIERED is structured around 3 interconnected axes:
- The creation of two Institutes at Sciences Po, one dedicated to environmental transformations and the other to digital transformations, to support a new form of thematic, integrated, transversal and interdisciplinary governance;
- Strengthening the humanities and social sciences around these themes, and opening up to other scientific disciplines through our project partners;
- Ensuring our work has impact at a critical time where science is mistrusted, including by creating actions that:
- disseminate knowledge and promote dialogue between science and society,
- contribute to the sectoral or cross-sectoral development of public policies and the strategies of other decision-makers(private sector, NGOs, etc.),
- develop knowledge transfer to stimulate innovation.
The creation of the Institute for Environmental Transformations and the Open Institute for Digital Transformations is part of TIERED's drive to scale up these two cross-cutting themes of transformation, in collaboration with its partners from other scientific disciplines.
