Faculty Mobility Program

The Baden-Württemberg / North Carolina Faculty Mobility Program is a multilateral cooperation between the nine universities in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg and the 15 public universities in the state of North Carolina in the USA. The program aims at facilitating the exchange of both students and researchers.

In view of the successful cooperation between the German federated state of Baden-Württemberg and the state of North Carolina, it is intended to place more focus on the collaboration between researchers and provide travel grants for short research stays, which are intended to help establish new collaborations and strengthen existing partnerships. 

Researchers from the nine research universities in Baden-Württemberg and the participating universities in North Carolina who want to be actively involved in the BW/NC program can apply for these grants.

Application

The one-time award is for 1,200 Euro intended to support short research stays of at least one week. Each year, the call for proposals is released in the summer and applications are due on October 15. More information provided on the BW/NC Faculty Mobility website.

The short application consists of the following documents:  

• Application form 
• CV including a list of publications (in English) 
• Project description including the reasons for choosing the host/hosting institution and a statement on the importance of the trip for future collaboration (max. 3 pages, in English)
