The Alliance Partnership Seminars are a series of monthly webinars fostering transatlantic collaboration between researchers from Columbia and Paris universities from or attached to the Alliance program (Sciences Po, Polytechnique, Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne). Monthly webinars will be organized until the summer, and a call for proposal will be issued in the Fall among participating researchers for seed funding for 2-3 transatlantic collaborative projects.

They are organized by the Alliance program, and moderated by Columbia Climate School's Melody Braun, Climate Response Lead to the Columbia Global Center in Paris.
