Fulbright Specialist Program — Host a Fulbright Specialist in Belgium (Call for Proposals)

The Fulbright Specialist Program places U.S. scholars and professionals on short-term collaborative visits (2–6 weeks) at host institutions. This call invites Belgian universities, university colleges, research institutes, cultural organisations, public institutions and non-profits to propose projects in areas such as education, training, institutional development, research dissemination and public engagement. Projects addressing topics like artificial intelligence, space policy, FinTech, trade and economic policy, defense and security, migration policy, and freedom of expression are prioritised. All projects should include a public engagement component linked to the America 250 celebrations.

A fully funded 2–6 week visit by a U.S. scholar or professional to collaborate on the host's project; public engagement activities tied to America 250.

Belgian universities, university colleges, research institutes, think tanks, cultural organisations, public institutions, non-profit organisations and other educational or research-focused entities may submit proposals to host a Fulbright Specialist.

Institutions submit a 1–3 page proposal describing project idea, proposed activities, preferred dates and (optionally) a preferred Specialist; proposals may name a specific expert or request matching from the program roster.
