BU Faculty Exchanges
BU has many other collaboration agreements with foreign institutions that provide for the possibility of faculty exchange. Among these are standing arrangements with a select number of foreign universities for funded short-term exchange of faculty (generally 4 weeks or less). These agreements have grown out of existing relationships, such as undergraduate student exchange or research collaborations.
The opportunities below are open to any BU faculty from all schools and colleges. In general, they do not require the knowledge of the local language. They normally provide funding for travel, modest accommodations, and a per diem during your stay abroad. Slots are limited as per our partnership agreements.
All full-time BU faculty members are eligible to apply. Please see the specific details for each program.
