 The Fulbright Arctic Initiative will bring together a network of scholars,
professionals and applied researchers from the United States, Canada,
Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia and Sweden for a series of three
seminar meetings and a Fulbright exchange experience.


At its core, the Fulbright Arctic Initiative will create a network to
stimulate international scientific collaboration on Arctic issues while
increasing mutual understanding between people of the United States and the
people of other countries. Using a collaborative model to translate theory
into practice, program participants will address public-policy research
questions relevant to Arctic nations’ shared challenges.

Sixteen outstanding scholars from the U.S. and abroad will be selected to
participate in the program as Fulbright Arctic Initiative Scholars through
an open, merit-based competition. At least four of the scholars will be
selected from the United States and at least one scholar will be selected
from each of the other Arctic Council member states. Co-Lead Scholars Dr.
Michael Sfraga(http://www.cies.org/mike-sfraga) and Dr. Ross A. Virginia(
http://www.cies.org/programs-us-scholars-fulbright-arctic-initiative/ross-virginia)
will provide intellectual leadership throughout the Program, in addition to
mentoring program participants and facilitating discussion and
collaboration among the Arctic Initiative Scholars. Program activities will
commence in spring 2015 and conclude in fall of 2016.
 The Fulbright Arctic Initiative will provide a platform for scholars from
across the Arctic region to engage in collaborative thinking, analysis,
problem-solving and multi-disciplinary research in one of four areas:
energy; water; health; infrastructure.


The Fulbright Arctic Initiative is a program of the US Department of State,
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA)(
