Request for Paris Center Interest

The Vice President for Global invites faculty, departments, and schools to share potential projects for the newly launched Rice Global Paris Center. As we develop the Center's inaugural programming, we welcome any ideas for using this space to further innovative research collaborations, immersive teaching opportunities, and other partnerships in Europe.

Instructions:
Submit your expressions of interest to ParisCenter@Rice.edu, and include:

  • A short description of the project or projects you have in mind
  • A tentative timeline if applicable
  • Possible partnerships with other institutions
  • Any other relevant details or questions you may have at this stage.

Projects should assume Paris Center property will be available beginning in Summer 2023. These short descriptions will be reviewed on a rolling basis until December. Paris Center staff will be in contact to schedule an initial conversation to answer questions and discuss the feasibility of potential projects.

Center Background:
Located in the Marais, the Paris Center is currently using nearby partner spaces that are a convenient distance to a great number of cultural and research institutions. The Rice Global Paris Center is able to host a variety of programs and events, from small seminar classes to large auditorium based conferences.
