Program partners
The Faculty Fellowship Program in Israel is a competitive academic fellowship that invites full-time university and college faculty members to participate in an all-expenses-paid academic trip to Israel.
The Program seeks to link scholars from diverse disciplines with their Israeli counterparts at major institutions for the purpose of initiating exchanges and collaborations.
Participants will be meeting with professionals and experts involved in government, industry, education, media and other sectors to understand the many facets of Israel’s evolving national and international policies - Participants will gain a deeper awareness of the many challenges faced by the country and the creativity, spirit, and ingenuity that Israelis bring to tackling these issues.
Faculty Fellowship Program in Israel is open to full-time teaching academics who have never before been to Israel.
To provide a dynamic and academically productive experience, the program will highlight several key categories:
