CUHK and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, EHESS) are committed to fostering research collaborations across a diverse array of disciplines related to the arts, humanities and social sciences. The Faculty Exchange Programme has been established to enable faculty members from both institutions to engage in research visits for exploration and development of collaborative research, thereby advancing scholarship and critical thinking to respond to the challenges of the contemporary world.
