Description
The Fulbright Finland Foundation supports short-term visits to Cleveland State University by researchers, including doctoral students, faculty, and higher education administrators from Finland. The program aims to initiate or advance research collaboration and long-term partnerships between Finnish home institutions and Cleveland State University. Made possible by a long-term alumni donation agreement, it is fully sponsored by the Foundation and operates outside the U.S. State Department-sponsored Fulbright program.
Visits may involve making contacts, launching or piloting collaborative projects, negotiating contracts, and conducting research. Scholar applicants should advance their own research goals, and all proposals should address institutional partnerships and sharing information about Foundation grant opportunities in the United States and Finland. Conference participation and teaching may complement the visit, but neither can be its primary purpose. Goals must be realistic for the proposed stay.
