Strengthen your international connections
What are IEA seminars? IEA seminars send U.S. international education professionals and senior-level higher education officials abroad to forge empowering connections with counterparts in other countries. During intensive two-week visits, seminar participants learn about the host country’s education system and expand their professional network.
We are currently accepting applications for France and Germany. Not an administrator? Encourage your colleagues on campus to apply! Submit your application by Feb. 1, 2024.

Scholar-in Residence Program
The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program provides U.S. institutions the chance to host a visiting international scholar for a semester or full academic year to teach while engaging extensively with your campus and local community. S-I-R scholars add a new perspective to existing coursework, expand your international education efforts, and help your students learn about a particular world region or country.
S-I-R applicant institutions are matched with scholars from around the world, making this an ideal opportunity for U.S. institutions who would like to engage more internationally but don’t already have connections abroad!
Curious to learn more? Questions about the application process? Join our upcoming webinar:

As an international research scholar at Washington State University, you may have questions about having a successful research experience on a day-to-day basis in the lab, in your research support, your tax status, and more. The Office of International Programs (IP) would like to give you the opportunity to find those answers and resources to address ongoing questions you may have.
On Feb. 15, join IP for a lite luncheon meet and greet with a panel discussion. The panelists include experts from the Office of Research Assurances, Office of Research and Support Operations, Office of Environmental Health and Safety, and Payroll Services. The focus of the panel is to answer questions you have currently and to meet the University experts who can guide you through policies and procedures surrounding your research in an ongoing capacity. Questions can be given in advance via this survey or in person at the event during the moderated panel conversation.
We look forward to seeing you there!
