Description
The Alliance Visiting Professorships, administered through Columbia University’s Alliance Program in partnership with École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, are designed to foster transatlantic academic exchanges and deepen institutional ties. Each year, six faculty members—three from Columbia and three from the French partner institutions—are selected to spend a semester or several weeks as Visiting Professors at a partner university. During this residency, participants teach a course, deliver public lectures, and build long-term research and teaching collaborations. The program aims to enrich intellectual life and create sustainable academic partnerships between Columbia and its French counterparts.
