Description
Canada is expanding the Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program (FMPBP)’s eligibility to include all 27 European Union Member States, in addition to the existing eligible countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
With this expanded eligibility, FMPBP provides enhanced opportunities for Canadian faculty to do short-term research and teach across a wider selection of countries in two regions, while fully maintaining eligibility for all existing partnerships in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The program is funded by Global Affairs Canada through the Academic Relations program to support Canada’s education relations and engagement by advancing institutional partnerships in the areas of research, student mobility, joint programming, and capacity building.
The primary objective of the program is to increase, diversify and strengthen institutional collaborations between Canadian post-secondary institutions and their counterparts in the European Union and those eligible under the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP).
The award will provide up to $10,000 for 3 to 8 weeks to teach and/or conduct research in eligible countries.
