The international policy of the IdA fits into the project of creating a Euro-American teaching space expressed in the establishment of twelve hubs across the American continent. The IdA, with the cooperation of universities in its network, contributes to developing a reflection on dual degrees and to facilitating exchanges between universities, professors and students from the Americas and Europe.
The IdA has established 12 centers across the Americas whose missions are to:
- Spread and promote French research and higher education teaching on the Americas,
