IICD Partners with the Alliance Program to Host Students from the École Polytechnique
The Alliance Program collaborates with Columbia University and three French higher education institutions (École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University) to facilitate the exchange of students and research scholars, and to foster academic collaborations between the four institutions. IICD recently partnered with the program to enable students from the École Polytechnique to carry out internships at the Institute. The first intern will join Dr. Simon Tavaré's lab later this month.
