Paris, 1 July 2025 -  A major project spearheaded by the President of Sciences Po, Luis Vassy, the Paris Climate School is the first European school in the humanities and social sciences dedicated to equipping future leaders with the tools to lead the transition, manage risks, and enhance the resilience of our societies. This new school becomes Sciences Po's eighth graduate school. Starting in September 2026, it will offer a two-year English-taught Master  in 'Ecological Transition, Risks and Governance', welcoming an initial cohort of around 100 students. The school will be led by Laurence Tubiana, whose exceptional experience at the crossroads of science, diplomacy, and public policy reflects the Paris Climate School's ambition: to train and educate a new generation of decision-makers ready to face the ecological emergency. Economist and diplomat, Laurence Tubiana has chaired the European Climate Foundation since 2017. She served as France's chief climate negotiator for COP21 and co-chaired the Citizens' Climate Convention in 2020. From January to June 2025, she co-chaired the Paris Climate School's preliminary mission with Sophie Dubuisson-Quellier, director of Research at CNRS and head of the Centre for the Sociology of Organisations (CSO) at Sciences Po. Sophie Dubuisson-Quellier will head the Scientific Committee, composed of permanent faculty members and teachers who will be involved in the school. 'In light of the scale and urgency of the ecological crisis, we have a responsibility to act. With the launch of the Paris Climate School—Europe's first school dedicated to climate—we are preparing a new generation of intellectually equipped leaders, ready to understand the profound transformations ahead and to shape systemic solutions. The Paris Climate School will train professionals across the public and private sectors to finance, plan, and manage the transition. I am delighted that Laurence Tubiana has agreed to become Dean of the Paris Climate School. Her unique experience at the intersection of economics, climate diplomacy and public policy embodies the ambition of this school. It is a major milestone for Sciences Po.'  Luis Vassy, President of Sciences Po 'I am immensely proud and excited to be named Dean of the Paris Climate School. Its creation comes at a decisive moment for our planet and our societies. Responding to the ecological emergency requires a new generation of thinkers and actors. Sciences Po has the potential to become a global leader on climate, by combining academic excellence, interdisciplinarity, and civic engagement.'

Paris, 8 July 2025 - Paris, Luis Vassy, President of Sciences Po, has appointed Paul-André Rosental as Scientific Director. He takes office on 1 July 2025. Paul-André Rosental is a University Professor at Sciences Po, where he has served as Director of the Centre for History since 2022. His research focuses on the history of the biopolitical domain, a broad field encompassing social protection, demography, migration, and public health. With a deeply interdisciplinary academic background, he is the author of several books published both in France and internationally, as well as over one hundred scholarly articles — including around thirty in medical journals. In this field, he has led a major project funded by the European Research Council, rooted in his work as a historian, which has had a tangible impact on occupational health policies in both France and the United States. Paul-André Rosental serves on numerous scientific advisory boards in France and abroad, notably within the Population Europe network in Berlin and the French Institute for Public Health Research (IReSP). Luis Vassy, President of Sciences Po: “I am proud to entrust the role of Scientific Director to Paul-André Rosental, who is not only a distinguished scholar but also a leading advocate of interdisciplinarity and a perceptive observer of the higher education and research landscape, both in France and abroad. With his exceptional expertise and strategic vision, he will make a decisive contribution to our scientific excellence, to the dynamism and vitality of our research units, to the integration of research and teaching, and to the opening of new fields of scientific inquiry. I am delighted to rely on him to further elevate the intellectual ambition and visibility of Sciences Po.” Paul-André Rosental, Scientific Director: " Sciences Po must reflect, teach, and act in a historical moment which marks a break with the post-Cold War era. The reason why a historian offers to lead its scientific policy at such a turning point, is because a long-term perspective is essential to distinguish transformations that echo familiar patterns from those that demand new models of understanding. Thinking through the unprecedented — by strengthening our academic and public presence, and preparing our student and doctoral community for the responsibilities they will bear — will be the guiding principle of my mandate as Scientific Director.”
