Welcome!
The Harriman Institute at Columbia University is the oldest academic institution in the United States devoted to the study of the countries of the former Soviet Union, East Central Europe and the Balkans. Our mission is to serve our large and diverse community at the university and beyond by supporting instruction and dialogue, sponsoring vibrant, multidisciplinary events that bring together our extraordinary resources of faculty, students, and alumni. Most important, we are committed to training the next generation of regional specialists to play leadership roles in making policy, setting the academic and scholarly agenda, and challenging accepted truths about how we study our rapidly changing world.
Unless otherwise specified, Harriman Institute events are free and open to the public. We seek to provide intellectually robust forums bringing together our students, faculty, and alumni with one another and with others who are initiating change and driving positive innovation in the vast and crucial area of the world we study. We are pleased to host annually a talented cohort of visiting scholars and post-doctoral fellows.
We urge you to visit both the Harriman website and Harriman events as often as possible and to send suggestions for events and initiatives you would like to see the Harriman Institute undertake. We hope to see or hear from you soon.
Regards,
Catharine Theimer Nepomnyashchy
Director, Harriman Institute
