The Technology and Global Affairs Innovation Hub is led by the Executive Director Constance de Leusse, working under the authority of the Dean of the Paris School of International Affairs Arancha González.
The Hub helps current leaders to better understand the arising dilemmas on technology and global affairs, and provides an additional platform to the Master in Technology and Global Affairs in training future leaders. The Master, launched jointly as a dual degree between the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) and IE’s School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs (IE-SPEGA), takes a multidisciplinary approach to prepare individuals to navigate skillfully the complex intersection of rapid technological change and the transformation of the global geopolitical landscape.
