Partnership agreements

Through its teaching missions abroad and its invitation to foreign lecturers, the Collège de France nurtures strong ties with certain foreign institutions (universities, institutes for advanced studies). Some of these partnerships have led to agreements on the creation of Chairs to host professors from the Collège de France in institutions abroad. A Chair can host up to three professors annually, depending on their availability and the partners' requests. In these cases a professor's lectures and seminars (between one and four) cater for a public of specialists and advanced PhD students.

The Collège de France collaborates with the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie which has a network of "digital campuses" in universities in the French-speaking world. Inaugural lectures (especially those of the annual Chairs "Knowledge against poverty" and "Sustainable development") are broadcast in the "digital campuses" and followed by videoconference debates.
