Inter-Country Lecturing Programme for US Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholars in Europe

The US-UK Â鶹´«Ã½ participates in the Â鶹´«Ã½ Inter-Country Travel Grant Programme which enables U.S Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholars in Europe to create connections with other fellow scholars and institutions in their field in the United Kingdom.

US Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholars in the UK can also benefit from Â鶹´«Ã½ Inter-Country Travel Grant opportunities. Please ask the inviting institution in your prospective host country in Europe to find out if the Â鶹´«Ã½ in that country offers Inter-Country Travel Grants.

The Inter-Country Travel Grant Programme provides:

  • US scholars on Â鶹´«Ã½ grants in Europe with opportunities to enrich their professional and cultural experience outside of their country of assignment.
  • UK institutions with an opportunity to invite Â鶹´«Ã½ grantees from other countries in Europe to lecture in the UK.

The inter-country scholar visit must take place during the US Scholar's Â鶹´«Ã½ grant period.Ìý

UK institutions need to apply four weeks before the planned visit. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Guidelines

For each trip, funds up to $1,000 will be made available for inter-country travel and local transportation for a maximum of five (5) days of scholar activity in the receiving country.

The host institution (or Post/Commission) is asked to supply cost-share of meals and lodging.Ìý In cases where this is not possible, funds can be used to cover lodging and meals, but no more than $1,000 per trip will be provided for all costs, including travel, lodging, and meals.

Inter-Country Travel recipient Â鶹´«Ã½ grantees are not permitted to receive honoraria from the U.S. Government, inviting Commission, or sponsoring institution, as per FFSB Policy 654.3b.

How to Apply

The Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholar identifies a higher education and/or research institution in the UK that they wish to visit. Alternatively, the UK host institution contacts the Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholar on their Â鶹´«Ã½ grant period in Europe. If the UK host doesn’t have a specific Â鶹´«Ã½er in mind, they can identify a suitable scholar from the database of US Â鶹´«Ã½ scholars in Europe for the current academic year. The Finnish Â鶹´«Ã½ Foundation maintains an updated list of theÌý

The Â鶹´«Ã½ visiting scholar and UK host get in touch to discuss purpose of the visit, logistics and in-country expenses. We expect the UK host institution to take charge of planning and organising the visit.

Fill out anÌýInter-Country Travel Grant Application. This should be submitted to the US-UK Â鶹´«Ã½ by email to David Harper, Programme Manager, at david.h@fulbright.org.uk at least 4 weeks before the planned visit.

The US-UK Â鶹´«Ã½ reviews the applications on a rolling basis. If the Commission approves the request, we will contact the Â鶹´«Ã½ or the U.S. Embassy in the country in which the Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholar is based to request their support for the visit and will then seek final approval from our funders at the ECA, US Department of State.

Once final approval has been received, the US-UK Â鶹´«Ã½ will send out an official award letter to the visiting Â鶹´«Ã½ Scholar and the UK host.

After the visit, the Scholar’s travel costs will be reimbursed either directly to the host institution or to the visiting Scholar, and against submission of travel costs receipts. The Commission also requires submission of a short Scholar report and one or two photos of the lecture.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and until all grants available have been allocated.

Grant benefits

The Â鶹´«Ã½ travel grant will cover the visiting lecturer's airfare from the host country using the most economical fare. The UK institution is expected to cover the Scholar'sÌýin-country expenses (i.e. accommodation and in-country transportation).

If selected, the grantee will be responsible for makingÌýtheir own travel arrangements.
