As an international hub, the CIUP has housed more than 200000 residents from all around the world throughout its 80 years of existence. This is a true melting pot in the centre of Paris that offers opportunities to meet people and know cultures from different parts of the planet. This photo symbolises not only residents who are holding the world in their hands through their experience at CIUP, but also CIUP holding and supporting the entire world in its hands by accepting and endorsing all these international residents in its campus, and providing accommodation for tomorrow leaders in France's "grande ecoles" and top universities.
