Fulbright-NAWI Graz Professorships

The appointment of visiting professors makes it possible to further expand the already comprehensive scientific expertise at NAWI Graz. Through the long-standing cooperation with the renowned Fulbright Commission, established scientists from the USA are appointed to Graz for a four-month research and teaching stay and are optimally integrated into institutes at both universities.

This benefits both students and scientists: Students attend English-taught courses and the scientists in Graz are given the opportunity to develop new research collaborations.
