Fulbright Specialist Program

The Fulbright Specialist Program arranges short-term (14–42 days) visits by U.S. faculty and professionals to Swedish post‑secondary institutions, museums, public institutions and NGOs to collaborate on curriculum and faculty development, institutional planning and related activities. Projects can include seminars, lecture series, workshops, curriculum development, needs assessments and consultancy. The program is administered by World Learning with funding from the U.S. Department of State and coordinated in Sweden by the Fulbright Commission. The program mediates travel and a daily per diem while host institutions provide in‑country costs.
