Description
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program supports visiting scholars who teach undergraduate courses or combine teaching and research at institutions in the United Arab Emirates. All disciplines and specializations are welcome. Courses and research projects may be proposed by the scholar or designated by the host institution. Combined projects must allocate 70% of time to teaching and 30% to research.
Scholars also advise faculty on curriculum development and program design and support student research. Public talks, mentorship, and engagement with local audiences or media extend the exchange beyond the classroom. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Fulbright seeks to strengthen relationships between people in the United States and other countries and promote international understanding through academic exchange and community engagement.
