Professors & Guest Speakers
People who know, do and keep learning.
The professors, researchers and practitioners who teach in the Adaptive Global Fellowship: our faculty partners at CESUPA, a university in Belém, Brazil, at the mouth of the Amazon River, and the guest speakers who join from universities and companies around the world.
In partnership with CESUPA
Faculty from Belém, supporting a global class.
Adaptive Foundation works in partnership with CESUPA, the Centro Universitário do Estado do Pará. Its professors teach and mentor in the Fellowship, and its campus in Belém anchors our work in the Amazon region.
The Adaptive Global Fellowship is taught by professors and practitioners who volunteer their expertise: interactive sessions, mentorship on capstone projects, and judging at final presentations.
Faculty reach us in two ways. Some work with us through institutional relationships, such as professors collaborating through CESUPA in Belem. Others are individual faculty collaborators, professors from Yale, Cambridge and other institutions who personally contribute their knowledge and experience to Adaptives.
Individual participation does not imply that an institution sponsors or endorses Adaptive. The credibility comes from the people and what they do with us.

Academics and executives, in the same conversation.
