Public Events

Our public events draw on the rich resources of Columbia's campus, the Global Centers network, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, the Columbia student programs in Paris, the Columbia University Club of France, and other cultural and academic institutions in Europe.

Here, we have created a "third space" of intellectual exploration and inquiry that resists easy categorization. This engagement brings together a diverse audience to address urgent, contemporary global issues through creative, rigorous, and open dialogue. We achieve this through conversation series, conferences, workshops, and performances.
