Description
The Fulbright Chile Partnerships Awards strengthen research collaboration and academic exchange between Chile and the United States through formal partnerships with selected Chilean universities and research centers. Visiting scholars join ongoing institutional initiatives rather than pursuing open-placement projects, working with Chilean faculty on joint activities aligned with their host’s established strengths and strategic priorities.
Supported activities include research, undergraduate or graduate teaching, student mentoring, faculty and curriculum development, and professional or artistic projects. Partner strengths include astronomy, engineering and applied sciences, earth sciences and geology, mining and energy systems, marine sciences, biotechnology, health sciences, and public policy. Proposals should demonstrate meaningful collaboration and well-defined outcomes. The program also promotes international understanding through engagement with students and the wider host community.
