Created
in the fall 2002, the Alliance Program is a non-profit transatlantic joint-venture
between Columbia University and three French prestigious institutions,
The École Polytechnique, Sciences Po and the Université
of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne.
Alliance is an innovative program whose aim is to initiate and
accompany new initiatives in the fields of education cooperation,
research collaboration, and policy outreach. Over the last four
years the Alliance’s scope of activities have included the
organization of numerous academic conferences both in Paris and
in New York, the setting up of international multidisciplinary
research teams, and the creation of joint-courses and curricula
targeting the students of its founding partners.
