U.S. universities are invited to apply to host the Natural Sciences
cohort of approximately ten
<http://www.cies.org/Fulbright/Libya/>Fulbright Visiting Scholars
from Libya for faculty development, mentoring and cultural exchange
activities. Participating institutions will enjoy a unique
opportunity to establish lasting relationships with faculty members
at universities in Libya and to build upon current efforts to
internationalize their campuses and surrounding communities.
Program Goals
* Build higher education capacity in Libya through faculty
development and mentoring for junior scholars
* Foster long-term collaboration and institutional linkages
between Libyan scholars and U.S. academics
* Promote mutual understanding between Libyans and Americans by
facilitating the scholars' engagement with the broader host campus community
CIES seeks proposals from U.S. universities to implement the ten-week
summer program scheduled to be held from July 7, 2013 to September
14, 2013. The selected host institution will receive $7,500 per
scholar for administration of the program and may be reimbursed up to
$4,500 per scholar for housing, as well as up to $1,000 per scholar
for lab fees and other costs associated with facilitating the
scholars' access to library, computer, or other lab resources.
Funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs (ECA), this program is administered by the Council
for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES), a division of the
Institute of International Education (IIE).
