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. |
