Description
This opportunity supports U.S. scholars in STEM disciplines to teach, conduct research, or carry out professional or artistic projects at higher education institutions in Georgia. Activities may include teaching undergraduate or graduate courses, mentoring students, developing curricula, conducting independent or host-designated research, and engaging in professional or artistic projects such as consultations, public events, and preparation of print materials. Projects can also focus on introducing modern teaching and evaluation methodologies and aiding the internationalization of Georgian institutions. Scholars are encouraged to engage with the local community through public talks and mentoring, with flexibility to determine the balance between teaching, research, and professional activities in collaboration with the host institution. The goal is to foster academic exchange and strengthen ties between the U.S. and Georgia’s higher education sector.
