Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination

The Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination opened its doors in Paris in fall 2018. Its annual cohort will comprise approximately seven Columbia University faculty fellows and seven fellows - scholars, writers, and creative artists - from outside the United States. Bringing together scholars from across the humanities and sciences with artists of all kinds, its purpose is to question the established ways in which knowledge is defined, produced, and taught. The Institute encourages applications in all disciplines and on any topic from candidates interested in participating in a creative community of scholars, artists, and thinkers.

We welcome projects from those working in any area of the humanities, the humanistic social sciences, and conceptual dimensions of the natural and applied sciences, as well as composers, visual artists, filmmakers, writers, and other creative thinkers.
