Seeking U.S. Host Campuses for Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Iraqi Business Administration and Global Entrepreneurship Scholars

Through the support of the U.S. Department of State's Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau, the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) is pleased to announce the opening of the application process to host a cohort of junior Business Administration and Global Entrepreneurship scholars from the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program for Iraq.

The ten-week summer program for 2017 is designed to bring junior scholars to U.S. host institutions for faculty development, mentoring, and cultural exchange activities. Approximately five scholars will be placed in the cohort at the selected U.S. host institution.

Participating institutions will enjoy a unique opportunity to establish lasting relationships with faculty members at universities in the scholars' home countries and to build upon current efforts to internationalize their campuses and surrounding communities.

The application deadline is December 7, 2016.

For more details regarding the program and instructions on how to submit a proposal, please visit the CIES website at http://www.cies.org/program/fulbright-visiting-scholar-program-iraq. If you have any questions please contact us at juniorfaculty@iie.org.
