Senior Specialists Program

The Fulbright Senior Specialists Program provides short-term academic opportunities for US faculty and professionals that are invited by Italian universities.

Shorter grant lengths give specialists greater flexibility to pursue a grant that works best with their current academic or professional commitments.

Senior Specialists collaborate with their counterparts in other countries on curriculum and faculty development, assist in institutional planning, give lectures and otherwise use their expertise, depending on the host institution’s interests and needs.

Grant benefits

Grant benefits provided by CIES (Council for International Exchange of Scholars) include international economy fare travel and approved related expenses plus a $200 per day honorarium. Host institutions normally cover in-country per diem costs for lodging, meals and transportation.

Grant length

2/6 weeks.

Information

Information about grants and how to apply is available on CIES website.
Italian universities interested in inviting Fulbright Senior Specialists should contact the US-Italy Fulbright Commission (info@fulbright.it) to request assistance about the timing and format of the project and request submission.
