* * * What is Sciences Po Wednesday? * * *

To those of you who may not be familiar with our monthly Sciences Po Wednesday event, it was first launched in November 2008 in London. The objective was to provide the Sciences Po community in London – both alumni and students – with regular opportunities to meet and exchange in a relaxed atmosphere. Sciences Po Wednesday usually takes place at the beginning of each month.

In 2009, our Sciences Po Wednesday events were held at the Walker of Whitehall near Trafalgar Square. The event successfully managed to attract a wide range of Sciences Po Alumni and young students as well as graduates eager to network and learn about professional opportunities – and still in a relaxed environment.

In 2010, we have decided to respond to the growing popularity of this event by offering a greater venue that would make this monthly gathering a bit more special.

The Royal Automobile Club is a private members’ club steeped in over 100 years of history and tradition as a social and automotive club. It was founded on 10 August 1897 as the Automobile Club of Great Britain.

If you live in London and would like to catch up with the Sciences Po community, this is the perfect event to do so.
