> Dear Scholar,<br>

> I am writing to you with some information about a unique opportunity in the 2015-16 Fulbright Scholar Program in Finland that I thought might especially appeal to someone with your background and interests. My organization, the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, administers the Fulbright Scholar Program on behalf of the United States Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Please feel free to forward this message to other interested colleagues and share through relevant associations and listservs. <br>

> The Fulbright-VTT Grant in Science, Technology and Innovation in Finland is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to research within the area of biological sciences, with particular emphasis on the fields of biomass. The selected candidate will conduct research with colleagues at VTT Technical Research Center of Finland, one of the leading research centers in Northern Europe. Applications are sought in all appropriate disciplines, but applications in biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, engineering and environmental sciences are preferred. The award is open to candidates with a PhD, but candidates with an MSc degree and strong expertise in their field as well as professionals with a minimum of five years of experience in the field may also be considered. A complete list of application requirements can be found here in the catalog of awards. <br>

> If your interests lie in other parts of the world, we offer grants in every world region.
