Description
The Fulbright U.S.–Israel International Education Administrators Award supports a two-week group seminar for U.S. higher education administrators with responsibilities in international or research engagement. Administered in Israel by the United States–Israel Educational Foundation, also known as Fulbright Israel, the program combines expert briefings, campus visits, government meetings, professional networking, cultural activities, and discussions with Israeli international education professionals.
The seminar offers an in-depth introduction to Israel’s higher education and research landscape while helping participants explore institutional partnerships, exchange best practices, and build professional networks. It advances Fulbright’s goal of strengthening relationships and mutual understanding between people in the United States and other countries. This is a scheduled group experience throughout Israel, not a self-directed research project; the host country arranges the itinerary, with little time for individual appointments.
