Partnerships With Major Institutions
Agence Française de Developpement (AFD)
The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) is the main implementing agency for France’s official development assistance to developing countries and overseas territories. PSIA trains many young professionals who pursue careers in key sectors relevant to AFD’s mission, such as development practice and international development, and in countries where AFD is present.
In December 2012, AFD and PSIA launched a partnership reinforcing their links. This involved working on common projects, including a collaborative seminar on case study methodology, in which groups of PSIA students designed project management case studies relating to international development, working alongside project managers from the AFD.
Institut du Bosphore
The Institut du Bosphore, an independent French association established in Paris in 2009, and Sciences Po have developed a partnership designed to encourage opportunities to study and to foster debate about French-Turkish relationships. One of the main pillars of this cooperation is the annual "Sciences Po-Bosphorus Prize", which distinguishes outstanding papers written by undergraduate and graduate students of Sciences Po about French-Turkish relationships, with a focus on economic and business relations.
Maif and Casden
Since 2012, PSIA has offered courses for its students to learn about social innovation and to prepare themselves for potential careers linked to this booming sector. These courses provide theoretical and historical foundations, as well as the development of professional skills through group projects led by key actors in the field of social innovation and business in France.
MAIF and Casden are the two founding partners of PSIA efforts to develop a platform for social innovation that encourages, nurtures and disseminates a variety of student and school-led initiatives.
