In addition to its permanent team, the CRIS is host to:
Associate researchers
The CRIS works regularly with associate researchers from both French and foreign universities and research organizations. Partnership applications are reviewed on a yearly basis. Partnership agreements are granted for 2-year terms and are renewable upon written request. These researchers are active participants in the center's scientific life, are free to use all available resource materials and may request funding for their partnership project (application submitted to a departmental committee). Any published work resulting from research performed as part of these partnerships must make mention of the CRIS' involvement.
Visiting researchers
The CRIS regularly welcomes visiting researchers from other countries for research stays as part of Science Po's international exchange programs.
