The RCCH sponsors a number of study groups led by scholars from Harvard and other affiliated universities. These study groups focus on various fields of study, including:
- Natural and experimental sciences
- Architecture
- Health Sciences
- Engineering
- Education
- Communications
- Arts and Humanities
- Law
- Government
While each group has its own specificities, they all share a spirit of openness, flexibility and cross-cultural collaboration. These groups are ideal for scholars and researchers looking to share ideas, conduct collaborative research and discuss new approaches in their fields, as well as those who wish to maintain a long-term commitment to academic collaboration. The RCCH brings together faculty, scholars, researchers, graduate students and other professionals from different universities in order to achieve fruitful debate and discussion. The RCCH encourages these groups to share their activities and findings at international conferences and through publications in top editorials and academic journals, as well as through the online resources provided by some departments or centers.
