About the foundation
The Institute for Ideas and Imagination, based in Paris and affiliated with Columbia University, was founded in 2018 as a fellowship program for scholars, artists, and writers. Its mission is to foster interdisciplinary exchange across the humanities, arts, and sciences, providing a space where conventional boundaries are suspended in favor of open-ended inquiry. The Institute emphasizes the transformative potential of sustained dialogue, offering residents the time and freedom to pursue projects that might not fit within traditional academic or artistic structures.
