CALL FOR FACULTY JOINT PROJECTS

The Alliance Call for Joint Projects is intended to support and finance transatlantic projects of the highest quality, in all disciplines, between faculty members within the Alliance network. The Call for Joint Projects aims to promote new ef-forts for joint research proposal development, pilot research and other activities in order to create new transatlantic collaborative initiatives. Each project will be granted a maximum amount of $15,000 for the academic year 2013-2014.

The Call for Joint Projects is open to full-time faculty members at Columbia University, the École Polytechnique, Sciences Po and the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, in all disciplines. Projects must be presented jointly by at least one faculty member from Columbia University and one faculty member from any one of the three French institutions. Faculty members who do not have contacts within the network are welcome to seek guidance from the Alliance team to find a partner. Third parties might be part of the Joint project team as long as the team is composed by one faculty from Columbia University and one faculty from any of the three French Institutions.

Please fill out and submit the application form, in English only, to Lauranne Bardin (lb2808@columbia.edu), by June 30, 2012.
