Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to inform you that the 2026 application cycle of the Oregon/Baden-Württemberg Faculty Mobility Grant is open now through January 30, 2026. The call has been significantly revised this year to emphasize faculty research collaborations, while still including activity which promotes student mobility.
The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Arts’ Faculty Mobility Grant program is intended to help seed research collaborations between faculty in participating Oregon and Baden-Württemberg universities, strengthen relationships, and expand partnership activity. The award covers travel costs for a visit of up to one week to a partner institution. Travel must take place during the 2026 calendar year. Desired outcomes include one or more of the following:
- research collaborations, publications, presentations, and securing additional funding for continued activity;
- undergraduate and graduate student connections, research and collaboration opportunities, and student mobility;
- curriculum development or integration, connected classrooms or collaborative online international learning (COIL) experiences, joint degree programs, or other curricular innovations;
- other forms of partnership activity not listed here.
Additional expectations are detailed in the grant call and application.
Application closes: January 30, 2026
How to apply: Submit a completed application by email to Julianna Betjemann, Associate Director of Global Affairs.
