The Fulbright Finland Foundation’s E. Michael Loovis Travel Grants support short-term visits by researchers, faculty, and higher education administrators from Finland to Cleveland State University in Ohio. Made possible by a long-term alumni donation agreement, the program aims to initiate or deepen research collaboration and sustained partnerships between applicants’ Finnish home institutions and Cleveland State University.
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 partnership building and sharing information about Fulbright Finland opportunities in both countries. Goals must be realistic for the proposed stay. Conference attendance may complement a visit but cannot be its sole purpose; teaching is permitted but cannot be the primary purpose.
