Summary: Annual transatlantic visiting professorships for faculty at Columbia and three French partner universities to promote research and teaching collaboration.
The Alliance Program: Visiting Professorships, coordinated by Columbia University in partnership with École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, supports annual transatlantic faculty exchanges. Each year, six faculty members (three from Columbia, three from the French partners) are selected to spend a semester or several weeks as Visiting Professors at a partner institution. During their visit, participants teach courses, deliver public lectures, and build lasting academic ties. The program aims to foster high-quality research and teaching exchanges, encourage joint projects, and develop durable academic networks across the Alliance institutions.
