The Cité internationale universitaire de Paris was founded in 1925 thanks to the generosity of major donors and philanthropic families. Even today, the Cité internationale lives off its patronage thanks to the support of its donors and companies, who are committed to giving meaning to the world and enabling its residents to study in optimal conditions. Encouraging access to knowledge and mobility for the world’s youth, promoting solidarity and humanist values and acting for a sustainable world: these are the major challenges that the Cité internationale has set itself.
Being a patron of the Cité internationale means helping the 12,000 students and researchers from all over the world who are housed on the campus every year. It also means helping us to develop innovative projects in the fields of solidarity and the environment, as well as innovation, digital transformation and experimentation. Every donation is important. It enables the Cité internationale to welcome its residents to a campus that is conducive to their success, while preparing them for their professional future.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, who are committed to helping us make sense of the world, we are able to carry out projects every year to enable our students and researchers to study in optimum conditions and thus guarantee their future. For almost a century, companies, associations, foundations and individual donors have supported us to bring the ideals of the Cité internationale to life. Thank you so much for supporting us!
Thanks to your donations, you can support the overall work of the Cité internationale or one of our projects in the area of your choice. Your generosity is essential to enable our residents to study in good conditions, in a protected environment, and to prepare for a peaceful future.
