geoscience institute to carry out research and develop trans-Atlantic
partnerships. Under this call the visiting researcher must also
contribute to the teaching programme of their host or an HEI partner
(however this can include workshops, short courses, specialist
fieldtrips etc.

The Fulbright Commission
awards highly competitive, merit-based grants to international
postgraduate students, scholars, and professionals to study, research,
and lecture in the United States and for Americans to undertake similar
activities outside the US. It was founded by United States Senator
J. William Fulbright in 1946 and is now one of the most prestigious
award programmes worldwide operating in over 155 countries; fifty-three
Fulbright alumni have won Nobel Prizes and seventy-eight have won
Pulitzer Prizes. The Fulbright Commission in Ireland
is a bilateral partnership supported by the U.S. Department of State
and the Irish Government's Department of Foreign Affairs (with a Service
Level Agreement with the Department of Arts, Heritage & the
Gaeltacht for 2014-2017). It is a registered charity with funding
derived from Irish and U.S. governments, higher education institutions,
public agencies, organisations and donations. The Geological Survey Ireland
have developed a new collaboration with the Fulbright Commission in
Ireland and funds Irish researchers to spend time in a US based
research institute, or US researchers to spend time in Ireland. Educational
exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of
communication can to the humanizing of international relations. —Senator J. William Fulbright
