Description
The Alliance Program at Columbia University offers visiting professorships through its partnership with École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. The exchanges bring faculty into a partner institution’s academic life through teaching and public lectures. Short-term visits last one to two months, while long-term visits last one semester.
The program aims to strengthen transatlantic faculty relationships, broaden educational experiences for students, and establish lasting contacts for future collaboration. Its short-term exchange connects Columbia and École Polytechnique, while the long-term exchange offers specific routes between Columbia and the two other French partners. These professorships form part of Alliance’s broader mission to encourage the exchange of people, knowledge, practices, and resources across the four institutions.
