Fulbright Denmark is getting ready for Arrival Orientation

On August 24th and August 25th, Fulbright Denmark will host our annual Arrival Orientation for this year’s American Fulbrighters, who will be starting their grant activities in the Fall semester. The cohort of new Fulbright recipients consists of ten students, each poised to embark on their academic pursuits at diverse institutions across Denmark. These students will engage in a spectrum of different disciplines, spanning from the exploration of alternative fuels for internal combustion engines to socioeconomic factors of inflammatory bowel disease. Furthermore, this group will also encompass five scholars who will undertake intricate research endeavors. Their investigations will encompass a wide array of subjects, including geological sciences and digital labor platform worker protections, all to be executed under the auspices of the Fulbright grant.

The itinerary for the first day of the orientation will be filled with valuable insights about accommodations and practical guidance for incoming Fulbright participants, as well as discussions about their academic and cultural expectations for their time in Denmark. Fulbright Denmark will set the tone for an engaging and informative seminar. The day will culminate in a dinner, affording them the opportunity to interact with members of Fulbright Denmark’s board.

Subsequently, on the following day, the participants will receive comprehensive information concerning the academic distinctions between Denmark and the United States, in addition to an introduction to diversity in the Danish context. The orientation will conclude post-lunch with a Canal and Harbor Tour of Copenhagen.

We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet the new Fulbright participants and extend a warm welcome to them in Denmark!
