Congratulations to professors and researchers

Once again this year, Sciences Po is recognised worldwide for its excellent results in the world's reference rankings. For 150 years, our institution has been educating open and enlightened minds capable of understanding the challenges of the world in which they live. These rankings show that Sciences Po is successfully taking up the challenge of achieving excellence, while at the same time expanding its geographical and social reach, especially through its particularly ambitious equal opportunities policy. I warmly congratulate all the teachers and researchers at Sciences Po for their high-quality work.
