Description
Administered by Fulbright Israel through the Fulbright Scholar Program, this fellowship supports research at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, an Israeli institution specializing in art, design, and architecture. Projects are welcomed from all academic disciplines, including scientific, qualitative, quantitative, practice-based, and artistic research. Researchers outside creative fields must explain how their discipline interacts with Bezalel’s areas of interest. Research may follow a host-designated project or a project developed by the applicant.
The fellowship supports Bezalel’s emphasis on originality, creativity, innovation, and generating new knowledge through art and design research. It also advances Fulbright’s goal of strengthening relationships and mutual understanding between the United States and other nations. Alongside research, fellows may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with the host community.
