International House Paris
The ���Cit�� Internationale
Universitaire de Paris��� is located
in Paris. The ���Cit�� Internationale���
has 40 houses, each of
which boasts its own identity,
and annually hosts 10,000
students, researchers, artists
and competitive athletes from
over 140 different countries in
a unique living environment.
The ���Cit����� was founded in the
aftermath of World War I as a
result of the vision and will of
some exceptional figures in
French public life; the Houses
belong to the Universities of
Paris, heiress of the Sorbonne.
Apart from providing
accommodation, the ���Cit��
Internationale��� offers residents
comprehensive leisure, catering
and library and computer
facilities. The ���Cit����� also seeks
to facilitate the stay of its guests
and enhance their experience
of living together by running
a forum for interaction and
high-level debates. At the heart
of the ���Cit�� Internationale���
complex, the ���Maison
Internationale��� offers a wide array
of possibilities for organising
events (colloquia, seminars,
conferences, receptions, etc.).
The International House was
built in the 1930s and officially
opened in 1936. It was the fourth
International House after New
York (1924), Berkeley (1930) and
Chicago (1932). It was funded by
a grant from philanthropist John
D. ROCKEFELLER Jr.
During the summer, the ���Cit��
Internationale��� continues to
support the international policy
of its partner institutions. It
plays host to organisations
wishing to run summer schools,
colloquia, seminars, etc. and to
groups seeking to improve their
knowledge of a particular subject
and explore Paris.
