STEP - Science and Technology in the European Periphery

Funding is available for American and European researchers, lecturers, international educators, and graduate students to focus on a wide range of issues concerning the European Union and the U.S.-EU relationship. The Fulbright-Schuman Program provides $3,000 per month plus a travel stipend, visa, and health and accident insurance for grants between two months and one academic year.

The program is open to citizens of all 27 EU member states and to U.S. citizens with two years of relevant experience. European participants focus on research and/or post-graduate study at an accredited American university or independent research center. Americans conduct research or lecturing in any of the EU member states, either independently or in affiliation with European universities and other institutions. The Fulbright-Schuman Program is administered by the Fulbright Commission in Brussels and is jointly financed by the U.S. Department of State and the Directorate-General for Education and Culture of the European Commission.
