Networks and Partnerships

Inspired by a long Christian and humanist tradition, the ICP values open-mindedness and dialogue beyond borders, as suggested by the university motto: "An open mind to the world."
The ICP welcomes all students and academics, whatever their nationality, culture, language, and religion, and places emphasis on personalized academic support. Our student body consists of 22% international students.

The ICP also welcomes a substantial number of lecturer-researchers, guest professors, and administrative staff. These exchanges between students and staff attest to the genuine openness of the ICP..
