The Venue
The conference will take place at the Sciences Po Paris campus in Reims (1 Place Museux, Reims 51100). Located in the heart of the Cité des Rois, this 17th- century building was once a Jesuit college. In 2010, it was inaugurated as the Sciences Po campus, gathering students from the Europe-North America and Europe-Africa undergraduate programs, as well as other exchange and dual degree programs with Columbia University, the University of Hong Kong, the National University of Singapore, UBC, UC Berkeley, the University of Sydney and the Université de Reims Champagne- Ardenne.
Popularly known as the "Harry Potter campus" because of its historic architecture, the Reims campus is "somewhere between Oxford and the Sorbonne". If you're visiting our campus, be sure to visit the old library, whose Baroque woodwork and gilding make it a uniquely beautiful and inspiring study space. This campus is the very definition of a melting pot, with half of our students being international, representing over 50 different nationalities!
