Description
The Alliance Program: Visiting Professorships is a recurring transatlantic faculty exchange initiative connecting Columbia University with École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University in France. Each year, six faculty members are selected—three from Columbia and three from the French partner institutions—to serve as Visiting Professors. Participants spend a semester or several weeks at the host institution, teach a course, and deliver public lectures. The program is designed to strengthen institutional links and foster long-term academic collaborations across the Alliance network.
