Comments: The Center would like to involve the Fulbright Scholar in the education of its Ph.D. students of which there are currently two (e.g. as co-counselors on their current projects). There are also possible research opportunities. The Center is currently involved in a number of interdisciplinary research projects that should result in three book publications within the next year. Other projects are in the pipeline, and the Chair would be invited to participate in these projects as well as a number of conferences and seminars the Center organizes each year. The Chair will have easy access to a wide range of electronic journals, the university library and the Royal Library. Therefore, it will be possible to continue working on major projects, especially if the recipient is in the writing stage. The scholar will be given an e-mail address and will have access to an ADSL-connection at work and at home. Office space is provided. Some secretarial assistance is available. The university library is fully computerized and books can be ordered from any computer. In addition, American journals are available in full text format through any computer within the university network. The Business School has a highly developed technology infrastructure making it possible to use PowerPoint, Internet, etc. in all classrooms and lecture halls. The Business School has TV and video set-ups that can play American videos and DVDs. Housing will be found for the scholar and decided upon after consultation with the scholar. The cost per month including utilities is approximately $1,000-$1,500. For more information on the department: www.cbs.dk/csa.
