SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR SCIENCE AND POLICY SUMMER SCHOOL

The challenges facing the 21st century are simultaneously socially, politically, and scientifically complex. As science continues to grow ever more specialized and policy struggles with new international demands we must forge a deep connection between the two, in order to secure a sustainable future. At the intersection between science and society, the interdisciplinary field of sustainable development has the potential to bridge these gaps.

Alliance Program’s Science and Policy Summer School will facilitate this dialogue during a week-long workshop in Paris, June 27-July 4, at Columbia University’s Reid Hall in Paris. Led by Prof. Laurence Tubiana, the summer school brings together students from US and European universities to meet international professors and industry and policy experts. These speakers will discuss and work with students as well as lecture on global problems facing the scientific and policy communities.

Confirmed Guest Speakers:

Laurence Tubiana, Founder of the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI), Professor at Sciences Po and Columbia University

Eric Maskin, Nobel Laureate and Professor of Economics, Harvard University

Jeff Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute, Columbia University

Claude Henry, Economist and Physicist, Professor at Sciences Po and Columbia University
