Rennes 2 University has a number of guest professor positions open to international academics. These positions facilitate the strengthening of international scientific and pedagogical collaborations for the Rennes 2 community and provide our students with direct access to the cutting edge of international research and training in the humanities, arts and social sciences.
They include : the International Chair of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Americas Chair, the CAPS Chair, the Mário Soares Chair and the Research-Action Chair Doctor Denis Mukwege.
Each position has been developed within a specific framework, history and for particular target audiences. Rennes 2 funds the International Chair in Humanities and Social Sciences (12 months) and the Chair of the Americas (12 months). The Doctor Denis Mukwege Research-Action Chair does not have its own fixed funding: applications for this Chair are submitted and examined from among the applications for the International and Americas Chairs, and when a Mukwege-focused application is selected, the title of the Chair is changed. The CAPS Chair, funded by the ANR (the French National Research Agency), has its own specific framework, but CAPS applications can also be submitted to the International Chair in Humanities and Social Sciences and to the Americas Chair.
