INTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONS A TOP PRIORITY An increasing internationalization of our Department of Economics is a major lever of our policy of excellence and complementarity between research, teaching and studying. The Sorbonne School of Economics, with its tradition of humanities, places international openness at the heart of its strengths. We are dedicated to training citizens of the world capable of responding to the complexity of the challenges of today and tomorrow. I am convinced that economists have an important role to play in the years to come. To train these economists by transcending borders, both disciplinary and national, is the driving force of our school and what we work towards every year. Ariane Dupont-Kieffer Director of the Sorbonne School of Economics Our University has a long-standing tradition of openness and welcome, favored by its attractiveness at the international level. One priority of the Sorbonne School of Economics is to strengthen the international relations between students, professors and researchers. We widely encourage our students to go abroad because we are convinced that such an opening up to the world is a real strength in their intellectual development. We also offer various double degrees with prestigious universities throughout the world and we propose on our campus degrees of excellence, some of them fully taught in English.
