Description
This award enables U.S. scholars, including academics and professionals, to spend one semester (4 or 5 months) at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Scholars may teach, conduct research, or combine both, in any discipline. The program emphasizes mutual understanding, academic collaboration, and engagement with the Romanian academic community through public talks, mentoring, and curriculum development. All teaching is in English; no Romanian language proficiency is required for teaching, though research projects requiring local language skills must address feasibility.
