UCalgary Visiting Scholars Program

Eligibility

UCalgary recognizes the importance of fostering international collaboration and academic exchange to enhance its research and innovation capabilities. This program is open to both scholars based in Canada and international candidates with the goal of increasing UCalgary’s international exposure.

The Visiting Scholars Program has been established to facilitate short-term, medium-term, and longer-term visits by leading professors and eminent scholars.

The Visiting Scholars Program sponsors distinguished scholars who will make a significant contribution to the academic life of the University of Calgary, enriching our research community, raising our institutional profile, and promoting knowledge exchange across countries and continents. For medium- and longer-term visits, scholars are expected to participate in the research and teaching programs of the host faculty as well as engage in their own research.

NOTE: This program is not open for self-nomination. If you have an existing relationship with a faculty member at the University of Calgary, please reach out to them to discuss sponsoring your visit and serving as your host during your stay. Otherwise, please reach out to researchers at UCalgary that have similar research expertise to explore collaboration.
