Columbia Global Centers | Beijing offers Columbia University's faculty, researchers, postdocs, and doctoral students opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary interaction or research-related programs with their counterparts in China to expand their research, teaching, and learning footprints and the international researcher network.

Through the program, scholars are invited to stay for one to six weeks to update their teaching curricula, plan student study abroad programs, and actively organize academic conferences, workshops, research collaborations, and other educational events of global significance.

By doing so, we aim to enhance their expertise, broaden their perspectives, and strengthen their network of collaborations with scholars and professionals from China and the region, which will further enrich their teaching and research capabilities.
