Description
The Fulbright–Semmelweis University award supports teaching and teaching/research at Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary. Offered through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program, it covers medical sciences, pharmacology and public health, with interests including dentistry, pharmaceutical sciences, health sciences, digital health sciences, health services management and health policy. Scholars may pursue their own research or join university projects at an institution integrating education, research and healthcare.
Scholars normally teach two undergraduate or graduate courses, reduced to one when research is a substantial component. Teaching/research proposals have no preferred division of time between activities. The award also supports student mentoring, faculty training and curriculum development. Community engagement, public talks and invited guest lectures at other Hungarian universities further Fulbright’s goal of international understanding and cooperation.
