Every year, the International Relations and Cooperation Office has a budget to host visiting professors for one month. The aim is to allow our laboratories and departments to invite a lecturer of their choice to teach at Paris 8 University. The aim is to forge a connection between Paris 8 University and the professor’s home university by including the visiting professor in the Paris 8 University curriculum and by organising informative talks for all students on the courses available, and student life at their university.
