Description
The Fulbright Finland Foundation’s ASLA-Fulbright Research Grants for Junior Scholars support early-career Finnish researchers undertaking projects at U.S. universities or research institutions. Visits may focus entirely on research or combine research and teaching, with no limit on teaching hours relative to research. The program aims to develop scholars’ fields, strengthen Finnish-American academic collaboration, and support the internationalization of Finnish education and research.
Beyond their projects, scholars serve as ambassadors for Finland, their home institutions, and the Foundation. Participants are expected to share their culture and knowledge during and after their visits, build international connections, and contribute to mutual understanding. Personal advising, orientation, networking opportunities, and access to the Fulbright alumni community complement the research experience.
