"Research Universities": outlook and challenges for the future. Comparing Russian and French experiences
Practical information
Depuis quelques années, l'enseignement supérieur russe est en pleine restructuration. Le gouvernement russe a lancé la création des "universités nationales de recherche", leaders dans leurs domaines respectifs, et des "universités fédérales", à vocation régionale. L'Ifri accueille quatre de ces nouvelles universités pour discuter dans un cadre bilatéral des sujets comme:
- Les tendances communes dans l'évolution de l'enseignement supérieur russe et français.
- La recherche dans les universités. Tendances, expériences, difficultés.
- Commercialisation des résultats de la recherche et la coopération entre l'université, l'Etat et les milieux d'affaires.
- Internationalisation de l'enseignement supérieur et l'importance de la coopération internationale dans le développement des Universités de recherche.

Assessing the Balance of Power between Europe and Russia
The evolving U.S. strategic posture and the intensification of the war in Ukraine are reshaping the security landscape in Europe. This context calls for a clear assessment of the balance of power between Europe and Russia.
Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
The future of space cooperation in the new strategic context
The policy orientations of the Trump II administration profoundly challenge the foundations of international cooperation in space science and exploration. This shift reflects a broader trend of strategic disengagement and weakening of multilateral mechanisms in the space domain.
