Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program offers this award in partnership with the National Science Foundation to support research on evolving Arctic and northern security and geopolitical concerns. Scholars conduct research in Iceland and one other Nordic country—Denmark, Finland, Norway, or Sweden—to contribute substantively to debate on Arctic security and help ensure a stable, sustainable Arctic region.
Projects are welcomed across disciplines when related to Arctic security. Relevant fields include governance, political science, international relations, security and defense studies, law, cybersecurity, environmental security, food, energy and water security, science and technology, and hybrid threats. Research is the primary activity, although the recipient may also be invited to teach, mentor, or support development activities. Local hosts and Fulbright Commissions support connections with universities, research organizations, and other partners.
