A Prestigious New Research Program for Prominent Scholars and Professionals

http://www.iie.org/cies/NCS/

(Application Deadline is August 1, 2001) As one of the oldest and largest
international exchange programs in the world, the Fulbright Scholar Program
is in a unique position to respond to the opportunities ushered in by a new
century in which the nations and citizens of the world are increasingly
interdependent. Its worldwide design and its long-standing international
relationships represent a natural platform upon which to build new, global
models for collaborative thinking among scholars of many different
nationalities about the challenges and possibilities for humankind in the
21st century.

In this spirit, The Fulbright New Century Scholars Program will bring
together annually over the next three years 25-30 outstanding research
scholars and professionals from the U.S. and around the world to engage in
multidisciplinary collaboration of the highest quality on a topic of
substantial global significance. For the academic year 2001-2002, the
research focus will be "Challenges of Health in a Borderless World."
Probable themes for the following two years of the program will be
"Addressing Sectarian, Ethnic and Cultural Conflict within and across
National Borders" and "Managing Natural Resources in the New Millennium:
Transboundary Water Issues."
