    French-American Foundation-United States Annual Report 2010 MISSION STATEMENT Founded in 1976, the French-American Foundation is the principal non-governmental organiza- tion linking France and the United States. Our mission is to promote a dynamic French-American partnership and to advance the values that these two countries represent. We provide high-level policymakers, academics, business leaders and other experts on both sides of the Atlantic with a platform to share knowledge and best practices on a wide range of policy issues. Our goal is to inform debate and to identify solutions to common issues of global concern. We accomplish this mission through conferences and study tours on subjects such as national security and defense, sustainability, equality of opportunity—for­­ universal access to education, employment and health care—business, media and culture.

Thomas Piketty has been a fantastic thesis advisor. He passed on to me his passion for research and conception of economics: a discipline open to dialogue with other social or natural sciences and to the service society. Tancrède Voituriez has been an indefectible friend and source of encouragement throughout, with a generosity that cannot be matched. This work also benefitted from the help of several IDDRI colleagues, in particular Michel Colombier, and Laurence Tubiana who supported me the early steps of this work.

Proceeds from this event support US Sciences Po Foundation created to disseminate the values for which Sciences Po, an international and innovative teaching institution in Paris, France stands for: excellence in education and research, diversity, and equal access to higher education for students whose talent and promise exceed their financial resources. The US Sciences Po Foundation is pleased to announce our 2012 Keynote Speaker and Honoree, Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund. While great progress has been made, Sciences Po continues to introduce groundbreaking programs and partnerships that benefit students and faculty. Financing the school’s growth and development is a top priority. However, public funding and tuition are not enough. In order to finance its expansion and operations and consolidate its financial independence, Sciences Po has launched fundraising campaigns in France, Great Britain, and the United States. The US Sciences Po Foundation was founded as part of this e!ort and serves as the center of these philanthropic and collaborative activities in the U.S. www.usscpo.org 1 US Sciences Po Foundation THE US SCIENCES PO FOUNDATION The US Sciences Po Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization, was founded in December 2009, with the aim of pursuing non-profit and educational objectives, including enhancing the reputation and raising interest in and awareness of Sciences Po in the United States.
