International Cooperation

Germany and France - Cooperation with Sciences Po Paris

 
During the last decade the MPIfG has cooperated increasingly intensively with Sciences Po (Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques). Sciences Po is the leading social science university in France. Its nine interdisciplinary and internationally oriented research centres do research in the social and political sciences, economics, history and law.
 
The Institute's cooperation with Sciences Po involves

• a joint doctoral program (Cotutelle),
• a Summer School for doctoral students,
• an international exchange program for doctoral students and researchers,
• joint seminars and workshops at regular intervals,
• the Otto Hahn Research Group on Economic Patriotism which is affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) and located at Sciences Po.

Sciences Po is one of the international partner institutions of the institute's doctoral program, the International Max Planck Research School on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy (IMPRS-SPCE).
 

 

Partner Institutions of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS-SPCE)

 
Given the international character of research in comparative political economy, economic sociology and organization studies, international cooperation is crucial. The International Max Planck Research School on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy (IMPRS-SPCE), the joint international PhD program of the MPIfG and the Department of Management, Economics and Social Sciences of the University of Cologne, enables fellows to spend six months at an American, British or French partner institution or another academic institution abroad in order to gather international experience and develop their work in an international context. The IMPRS-SPCE also hosts PhD students from abroad, creating further opportunities for fellows to develop their skills and networks.
