YALE UNIVERSITY

The Smithsonian and Yale have deep ties that go back more than 150 years. From joint research expeditions to shared paleontological collections, the two institutions share a long tradition of collaboration. The Yale-Smithsonian Partnership was initiated in 2016 as a way to draw upon the institutions' complementary strengths and to incubate innovative research and collaboration between the institutions. Since then, the partnership has grown to include internships and fellowships, faculty collaborations, courses, and programming.
