Description

The scholar selected for this grant is expected to conduct cutting-edge STEM research preferably at one of Hungary's high priority research facilities or universities. Scholars in the arts whose projects are related to natural sciences, mathematics and engineering are also encouraged to apply as STEAM is a new concept in Hungary. Additional teaching and outreach activities at other Hungarian institutions are also possible. The Ministry of Culture and Innovation is sponsoring this award to attract U.S. scholars to several high-priority research facilities in Hungary, all of which have strong university affiliations. These priority areas include, but are not limited to: autonomous (self-driving) vehicles, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G networks, molecular biology, physics and material science etc. These institutions are: ELI-ALPS Institute in Szeged; ZalaZONE Test Track in Zalaegerszeg; and Biological Research Centre, Szeged, affiliated with the University of Szeged. While U.S. scholars are free to associate with any university in Hungary, some departments have direct relationships with the aforementioned priority institutes and have strong ties to the Fulbright Commission in Hungary. The award is open to Mid-Career Academics and Senior Academics. PhD (or other terminal degree) is required. There are no language proficiency requirements, English is sufficient. Research and teaching will be conducted in English; additional language proficiency is not required. All applicants must submit two recommendation letters. Letters should be from those who know the applicant and the applicant's work well.
