Description
The Alliance Program is a partnership among Columbia University, École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Its Visiting Professorships bring faculty into the academic life of a partner institution: each French partner hosts one Columbia faculty member, and Columbia hosts one faculty member from each French partner.
Visiting professors spend a semester or a few weeks at the host institution, teaching a course and giving public lectures. The exchanges aim to strengthen ties among the four institutions and establish lasting contacts for collaboration on future projects.
