Description
The Fulbright Canada Research Chairs in Science and Technology provide prestigious opportunities for U.S. scholars to spend a semester at a Canadian partner university. Recipients can undertake independent or collaborative research, teach, mentor students, and participate in academic and public events, contributing to the intellectual and cultural life of the host institution. The program aims to strengthen cross-border academic collaboration, promote international understanding, and support research and teaching in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Scholars may select from designated host institutions and specializations, such as the University of Manitoba (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and the University of Windsor (Automobility and Cybersecurity Innovations).
