The Fulbright Schuman Program supports European citizens undertaking study, research, and lecturing in the United States, across all academic fields. Projects must have a strong European Union component addressing U.S.–EU relations, EU affairs or policy, or EU institutions, with relevance to at least two EU member states. Opportunities include doctoral research, post-doctoral research and lecturing, and international education.
The program is jointly financed by the U.S. Department of State and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education and Culture. It is administered by Fulbright Belgium, not Fulbright Denmark. Alongside academic work, the program promotes mutual understanding through cultural exchange. It seeks participants who demonstrate ambassadorial qualities, contribute to the Fulbright alumni community, and return home to share their knowledge and experiences.
