Deadline Extended: U.S. Host Campuses for Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Iraq

The Institute of International Education’s Council for International Exchange of Scholars (IIE/CIES) is seeking U.S. campuses to host cohorts of junior scholars from the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Iraq. 

The intent of this 10-week program is to equip scholars with the knowledge and tools needed to build the capacity of their home institutions and to advance the education of future generations. In addition, it lays the foundation for junior scholars and their U.S. hosts to develop long-term institutional relationships and to identify areas of cooperation that can be sustained beyond the grant period. Participating institutions will enjoy a unique opportunity to establish lasting relationships with faculty members at universities within Iraq and to build upon current efforts to internationalize their campuses and surrounding communities. 

 

CIES seeks two host institutions to implement the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Iraq, which is scheduled to take place June 30, 2017 through September 8, 2017. Scholars will be distributed across the following discipline-based cohorts: Law and Human Rights, and Business Administration and Global Entrepreneurship.
