Other Opportunities for Researchers and Faculty
See below other opportunities for transatlantic collaboration that might interest Researchers and Faculty.
Host a talented student from the Ecole Polytechnique for a Spring internship.
Created in 2002, the Alliance Program is an innovative joint venture between Columbia University, the École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Every year, Columbia University offers several student internships in scientific disciplines open to École Polytechnique students. Details are below:
- Students work with a faculty member, who acts as an academic advisor and supervises their research project.
- Internships will start in mid to late Spring 2026. The duration, objectives and tasks of the internship will be discussed with the supervisor at the host center or department.
- Students are responsible for finding housing.
- All students are required to apply for a J1 Visa to conduct an internship in the United States
- A call for application will be sent out in the Fall (2025)
- Here is a link to additional requirements for hosting a student intern at Columbia.
Past internships have included:
- Stochastic modeling and inference for cell population dynamics at IICD
- Exploring generative models for single-cell resolution genomic data analysis at IICD
- Transnational research applied to the care of congenital heart defect at CUMC

The Partner University Fund (PUF) was established in May 2007 under the auspices of the FACE Foundation, NYC, and the Embassy of France to the United States, with the aim to promote innovative and sustainable partnerships between French and US institutions for research and education. PUF supports emerging transatlantic partnerships with the potential to continue beyond the initial 3-year grant, and currently supports 55 multifaceted partnerships in all fields of study, including projects initially generated under the Alliance program.
Partnerships may combine elements such as:
-
Joint initiatives in Research and publications
-
Faculty and postdoctoral mobility
-
Collaboration in teaching
-
Shared programs
-
Joint and dual degrees at the Master’s and PhD levels
Research partnerships established within the Alliance network are eligible.

We envisage funding at least 2 projects at a level of $30k each.
Eligible projects include:
· Workshops, symposia and other academic events designed to lead to new research or to the drafting of grant proposals for major foundations
· Thematic graduate workshops with students and faculty members from two or more Alliance member institutions
· Joint publications (monographs, edited volumes, or peer-reviewed articles) based on joint research or jointly held academic conferences or workshops
· The creation and delivery of joint courses (including online courses) between Columbia and one of the three French Alliance partner institutions.
