Why Northeastern?
Northeastern is a global, experiential, research university built on a tradition of engagement with the world, creating a distinctive approach to education and research. Renowned for its leadership in experiential education, Northeastern aims to elevate learning in an era of Artificial Intelligence – producing students who are connected, creative, resilient, and Robot-proof.
Why Paris?
Our experiential model necessitates the cultivation of a global mindset. This is why we are convening our university leaders in Paris—a city that embodies the international character of today’s economy and culture. It’s also a home to many of us, since nearly 500 alumni, 250 parents, and 100 students live in France, an environment where intersections between entrepreneurship, art, talent and technology are fostering new business models.
