International IT recruiter Montreal Associates has partnered with Columbia University to promote a new European residency and Masters programme for science and technology management. 

The New York university has a faculty in Paris, which will be the base for the Masters programme. 

In a statement, Montreal Associates managing director David Thuillier said this would give European IT executives an opportunity to develop their careers and “gain access to one of the best academic programmes in the world”.

The university runs a similar Masters programme in New York.
