Description
This award enables U.S. scholars to teach and/or conduct research at Széchenyi István University in Győr, Hungary—a modern institution known for its international outlook, industry partnerships (including Audi Hungaria and MIT), and strengths in engineering, IT, health sciences, and agricultural technology. Scholars are expected to teach one or two courses (depending on research involvement), and may engage in curriculum development, research projects (independent or collaborative), and community outreach. Additional activities may include guest lectures, student advising, and collaboration across Hungarian universities. The program aims to foster cross-cultural academic exchange and advance the Fulbright mission of international cooperation and mutual understanding.
