Description
This Fulbright-Schuman Distinguished Scholar award supports one American scholar for a semester at the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium. The scholar is expected to teach up to two courses, agreed with the hosting department, and may conduct research alongside teaching. Other activities may include co-supervising postgraduate students, organizing special lectures or extracurricular activities, and contributing to the institution’s academic life.
The Fulbright Commission in Brussels administers the Schuman Program, jointly financed by the U.S. Department of State and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education and Culture. Projects must address U.S.-EU relations, EU policy, or EU institutions. Relevant fields include economics, history, law, political science, public policy, sociology, and other disciplines. The program promotes transatlantic understanding and cooperation, with Belgium as the primary base and complementary work elsewhere in the EU possible with the College’s agreement.
