CART was established in January 2007 as a think tank to help reduce the relative lack of knowledge and understanding that exists in France about the USA, especially their decision-making system. Through its publications and meetings, it also intends to contribute to the French and international debate on transatlantic relations. The aim is to develop credibility on both sides of the Atlantic, whilst not losing its freedom of judgment and a critical ability.

The SAIS Center for Transatlantic Relations, located near Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, engages international scholars and students directly with government officials, journalists, business executives, and other opinion leaders from both sides of the Atlantic on issues facing Europe and North America. The goal of the Center is to strengthen and reorient transatlantic relations to the dynamics of the globalizing world.
