2026 Global Scholars Intensive

From June 11–13, 2026, Harvard Law School’s IGLP will collaborate with Sciences Po Law School to convene the Global Scholars Intensive in Paris, France.

About the Intensive

The Global Scholars Intensive (GSI) is a focused three-day residential experience designed to enable junior faculty and post-doctoral scholars to engage in sustained, interdisciplinary, peer-to-peer collaboration under the close mentorship of research faculty drawn from the world’s top universities. The GSI is open by application to junior scholars working to understand and map the levers of political, economic, and legal authority in the world today. We particularly welcome applications from scholars from the Global South and those working on policy challenges of particular concern to communities in the Global South.

Building on the IGLP’s decade of successful workshops and Sciences Po’s dedication to high-level interdisciplinary research, the Global Scholars Intensive will engage a growing community of scholars developing new thinking about the world’s most pressing policy challenges. While in residence, participants will workshop their ongoing research, review current scholarship developments, reconsider canonical texts, and network with colleagues from across the world.

The Format

The 2026 Intensive offers a unique interdisciplinary curriculum and includes thematic minicourses, plenary lectures, and writing workshops over a three-day period. Writing workshops offer participants the opportunity to receive detailed, valuable feedback on their research from their peers and senior colleagues in small group settings.
