This year, the same number of women and men are joining the permanent faculty. It’s a first. Although they are less numerous than the years before - a long term effect of the pandemic - their profiles are a tribute to the diversity and quality of our hiring policy. They come from Brazil, Sweden, Austria, Spain or France, to bring their own spin on our research and teaching about major challenges such as the environment, inequalities, conflicts, campaign promises and the behaviour of economic actors.Discover their bios!

Times Higher Education Ranking: Sciences Po places 39th in the world for the social sciences
Sciences Po has risen 11 rungs this year in the Times Higher Education World University Ranking for the social sciences. This improved performance was made possible by its cutting-edge research and international outlook.

Our societies are facing major challenges: rising extremism and violence, persistent discrimination, difficulties in establishing environmental public policies, slowness of the financial sector to commit to a low-carbon economy... It is to all these questions, to which politicians are in a hurry to respond, that our researchers have decided to tackle within the framework of CIVICA Research. The added value of CIVICA Research is its capacity to bring together diverse approaches from across the social sciences on major global and uniquely-European challenges.

Democracy is a fragile pact which could be broken at any time, especially when it is crossed by deep internal divides.
