Journées d’études IPR/OSC

jeudi 1er et vendredi 2 juillet 2010 à Sciences Po

A l’initiative de Marco Oberti, un workshop est organisé avec l’Institute for Policy Research de la Northwestern University (Chicago).

L’objectif de ces deux journées est de permettre un rapprochement entre les chercheurs des deux centres de recherche et d’envisager ainsi par la suite des échanges académiques et scientifiques plus soutenus.

Deux thèmes transversaux particulièrement bien représentés dans les deux centres ont été retenus dans un premier temps pour structurer cette première rencontre : ville et école.

Lieu :

Salle Goguel

56, rue des Saints-Pères 75007 Paris
