During the second semester, our institution will host over 15 international teachers and researchers in our departments, faculties and research structures. Their stay, which generally lasts from 1 - 2 months, is an opportunity to work more closely with our faculty on specialized subjects and to develop stronger collaborative links between institutions. During their time at Rennes 2, visiting professors often hold classes for students, participate in research seminars, study days and other cooperative projects.
The International Relations Office organizes an individual and/or grouped welcome event in conjunction with their Rennes 2 host structure and associated faculty members and in the presence of the Vice President in charge of Internationalization. The Office has already held two receptions for incoming professors, with a third date to follow on March 20th.
