The Â鶹´«Ã½ Specialist Programme

The Â鶹´«Ã½ Specialist Programme invites UK universities to host a leading US academic or professional to work on diverse, short-term collaborative projects.

The programme allows universities, cultural centres, non-governmental organisations, and other institutions abroad to host a leading U.S. academic or professional to work on projects such as: 

  • Delivering a seminar or workshop
  • Consulting on faculty or workforce development
  • Developing academic or training curricula and materials
  • Lecturing at graduate or undergraduate level
  • Conducting needs assessments or evaluations for a program or institution

 Participating foreign host institutions benefit by:

  • Gaining global perspectives from experienced U.S. academics and professionals;
  • Executing projects that require a rapid response or flexible timeline through short-term exchanges, and
  • Building sustained relationships with individuals and institutions in the U.S.
  • Increasing the profile of the Â鶹´«Ã½ programme more generally within their institution and opening up opportunities for their students and staff.

Please note, this Programme has its own timeline and application process, please visit the Â鶹´«Ã½ Specialist Programme Award page to find out more.
