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 involve research alone or a combination of research and teaching, with no limit on teaching hours relative to research. The program is co-funded with scholars’ home institutions and supports visits lasting 3–12 months.
The program combines research funding with personal advising, orientation to U.S. culture and higher education, and professional networking opportunities. Its goals include exchanging knowledge and professional talent, internationalizing Finnish education and research, and building links between Finnish and U.S. institutions. Grantees also serve as ambassadors for Finland, their home institution, and the Foundation, sharing their culture and contributing to mutual understanding.
