Partnerships

The CCDS partners with academic institutions, research centers, and NGOs to foster an interdisciplinary approach to questions of democracy.

The Center for Transcultural Studies (CTS) is a leading research institution that creates new forms of cultural understanding for a rapidly internationalizing world. Its major objectives are: (1) to work with colleagues around the world to develop critical understandings of the forces shaping contemporary life; (2) to design international projects that transform research, teaching, and policy-making by sharing institutional resources and innovatively using the latest in telecommunication technologies; and (3) to inform expert and lay audiences in the United States and abroad about contemporary cultural issues affecting us all.

The Center for Global Culture and Communication (CGCC) at Northwestern University was founded in 2002 as an interdepartmental forum for bringing together School of Communication faculty and students to address the emerging importance of globalization in communication studies. No theme better captures the intellectual challenges of the new century than globalization, especially as mediated by cultural flows and communication technology; and no academic unit of Northwestern University is better positioned to address those challenges than the School of Communication. Although established in the School of Communication, the CGCC offers the opportunity for interdisciplinary scholarly exchanges to members of all Northwestern academic units.

The Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory (IFDT) is a community of scientists based in Belgrade, Serbia that fosters reflection, boldness, and a critical approach to research and engaged action; we provide interdisciplinary and socially relevant knowledge to the world at large; we design and implement research on social movements, actively striving for change to the current state of affairs; and we seek to build an open, solidary, and responsible community of researchers with integrity. Insisting on the autonomy of the university, we defend academic freedom in all stages of research as a prerequisite for questioning established and producing new knowledge. Convinced of the important role social sciences and the humanities play in building a better world, we endeavour to continuously communicate our scientific findings with the public, thus encouraging debate and critical thinking.

L’Institut des sciences juridique et philosophique de la Sorbonne (ISJPS) à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (École de droit de la Sorbonne) et le CNRS (Institut des sciences humaines et sociales) réunit des chercheurs, des enseignants-chercheurs, des chercheurs associés, des post-doctorants et des doctorants qui abordent ensemble, à partir de leur expertise disciplinaire, des thématiques stratégiques au cœur de notre société.

Outre son fort ancrage disciplinaire représenté par ses cinq centres de recherche en droit administratif, en droit constitutionnel, en droit comparé, en droit des sciences et techniques et en philosophie contemporaine, l'ISJPS développe une réflexion transversale, articulée suivant cinq axes de recherche (démocratie, environnement, genre, RSE, données et intelligence artificielle), sur le devenir des normes et des catégories face aux défis du monde contemporain. En droit comme en philosophie, l’ISJPS porte des programmes nationaux et internationaux.
