RANKED 3RD FOR POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES RESEARCH IN THE WORLD , PARIS-BASED UNIVERSITY SCIENCES PO HAS CREATED A VIBRANT DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM
On Wednesday 11 May 2022 , Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky conversed for more than an hour with several hundred students , including many from Sciences Po University . Across France , dozens of auditoriums were opened and tens of thousands of people were able to follow , in person or online , this unprecedented exchange .
“ Today is the seventy-seventh day of the large-scale war against Russia , which began in the seventy-seventh year after the end of the largest war in Europe ,” began President Zelensky , live from Kyiv . Rather than a prepared speech , he wished to ask questions to the students “ to have a real dialogue ”.
This level of discourse , plugged into the major and pressing political issues of the planet , is standard practice for Sciences Po , a world-class research university based in Paris . Its reputation has been – and continues to be – built on an international dimension since its formation in 1872 , with 150 nationalities represented and 49 % of students coming from outside France .
Sciences Po gets its name from ‘ political science ’ and is part of the social sciences , itself emerging from the term that was formerly used to refer to the field of sociology , the original " science of society ", established in the 19th century .
