Summary:
Four 3- to 5-month awards for lecturing and/or research. See also Fulbright Distinguished Chairs Program and regional/special programs in Europe.
Program Overview:
Candidates from recent Ph.D. scholars to full professors in any discipline will be considered. Preference is given to academic and professional excellence, feasibility and significance of project and host affiliation. English is sufficient as Swedish students and scholars have excellent proficiency in English. The academic year consists of two 20-week semesters. The fall semester runs from the middle or end of August to mid-January, and the spring term from mid-January to the beginning of June. Awards are rarely made in the summer months unless justified by the nature of the project and pre-arranged with the prospective host institution. All applicants should make a preliminary reservation at the university housing office of the host institution as soon as possible, and if additional help is needed, they should ask their Swedish academic hosts for assistance in placing them in the university's housing queue. Many public and private schools offer English instruction through primary and upper secondary level. Public schools are usually free from primary through upper secondary level.
