SENIOR SPECIALIST PROGRAM

The program is designed to provide an opportunity to U.S. faculty and professionals to collaborate with professional counterparts on curriculum and faculty development, institutional planning and a variety of other activities. Thought the program provides short-term academic opportunities (two to six weeks) it ensures greater flexibility to pursue a grant that works best with the Specialist's current academic or professional commitments. The CIES builds a roster of candidates in each program field and facilitates the matching of Senior Specialists with program requests. The Fulbright Senior Specialist Program is open to qualified U.S. scholars and professionals in the disciplines listed on this page.

Duration:

Two to six weeks
