The Center in Paris and Beyond

The John W. Boyer Center in Paris is the University of Chicago’s teaching and research hub in Europe, supporting an intellectual community of students, faculty, alumni, and partners from around the world. Since 2003, the Center has been home to a growing array of the College’s hallmark Study Abroad programs and has facilitated faculty research across disciplines. Through its many programs and partnerships, the Center has represented our traditionally strong ties to European thought and culture while serving as a gateway to the University’s networks throughout Africa and the Middle East.
