USA: the Fulbright European Union Scholar-in-Residence Program for U.S. Institutions

Overview

The purpose of the Fulbright European Union Scholar-in-Residence Program is to strengthen expertise in European Union affairs by bringing to U.S. campuses scholars from the European Union. Proposals are welcome from research and graduate institutions that have established programs in international affairs, business, political science, or other related fields in which the presence of an EU expert would be beneficial.

The European Union Scholar-in-Residence (EU SIR) Program is designed to strengthen expertise in European Union affairs. Through an arrangement with the European Union, grants are available to bring European scholars specializing in EU affairs to U.S. campuses as resident fellows for one term of the academic year. The program is devised for scholars in the humanities and social sciences or in fields where there is an international, comparative or policy component.

The scholars give guest lectures and conduct seminars as appropriate, consult with faculty and students on research, engage in collaborative study, and provide outreach to neighboring institutions and the local community. The resident fellows are not expected to teach regular courses.

Given the distinct purpose of the EU SIR Program, the institutional requirements relevant to the worldwide SIR Program (e.g., seeking institutions that do not often have the opportunity for contact with visiting scholars) are not applicable to proposals submitted for the EU SIR Program. All accredited institutions of higher education with appropriate programs and activities relating to EU affairs that are able to productively utilize a resident fellow are encouraged to submit proposals under this special program.
