The Fulbright New Century Scholars (NCS)
Program is designed to play a vital role in forging new links among
scholars and professionals from around the world who will work together
to seek solutions to issues and concerns that affect humankind.
The NCS program provides a platform for
scholars from the U.S. and around the world to engage in debate and
dialogue based on multidisciplinary research and to develop new global
models for understanding the social context within which nations and
communities shape their responses to the many challenges of the 21st
century.
To create this platform for
collaborative thinking and pursuit of tangible solutions to issues of
universal concern, NCS combines the traditional Fulbright research
exchange experience with a series of three in-person seminars and
ongoing virtual communication among the multinational and
multidisciplinary participants under the guidance of the NCS
Distinguished Scholar Leader. At the end of the program year, these
scholars share the results of their collaborative interaction and
engagement in a public forum at which they present their conclusions and
recommendations for initiatives that will translate the results of their
collaborative thinking into tangible impact on the local, regional or
global level.
Outstanding scholars and professionals
of any rank in any field related to the NCS research theme are eligible
to apply.
