Before the visit
The Fulbright Scholar identifies a higher education institution in the Kingdom of Denmark.
Alternatively, the host institution in the Kingdom of Denmark initiates contact with the Fulbright Scholar. If the host institution does not have a specific scholar in mind, they can identify a suitable person from the database of U.S. Fulbright scholars in Europe for the current academic year. The Finnish Fulbright Commission maintains an updated list of the Current US Fulbright Scholars in eligible countries.
The Fulbright Scholar and host institution get in touch and agree on dates, content and logistics of the visit. The host institution must confirm their willingness to cover in-country expenses.
The Application
The application is a collaborative effort between the Fulbright Scholar and host institution. Please download the application form in the box on the right.
A complete application will include:
- Application Form
- Proof of support from Fulbright Scholar’s current host commission
- Data Protection Notice, signed by U.S. Scholar
We require that the Fulbright Scholar asks the Fulbright Commission in their host country for approval of the travel plans under an Inter-Country Travel Grant. If the commission has any questions, please refer them to advising@fulbright.dk.
After the application
The Fulbright Scholar and host institution will receive an email from Fulbright Denmark with the result of the application. If accepted, the Fulbright Scholar will be asked to purchase train/flights and share the receipts of these. The costs will be then be reimbursed to the Fulbright Scholar after the visit is completed.
Fulbright Denmark may reach out to the host institution after the visit to evaluate its success.

Inter-Country Travel Grant
Fulbright Inter-Country Travel Grant
Fulbright Denmark participates in the Fulbright Inter-Country Travel Grant Program, which enables U.S Fulbright Scholars to create connections with other fellow scholars and institutions in their field in Europe. Each year approx. 200 U.S. Fulbright Scholars are affiliated with a university in Europe.
Higher education institutions in the Kingdom of Denmark can apply for one of these U.S. Fulbright Scholars to visit them for a maximum of one week, for example to give lectures, participate actively in seminars and workshops, etc.
Similarly, U.S. Fulbright Scholars in the Kingdom of Denmark can get invited to other institutions across Europe, and thus enrich their professional and cultural experiences.
If you wish to invite a U.S. Fulbright Scholar
Please find a list of eligible scholars and read more about the application process here.
If you are a U.S. Fulbright Scholar
Please ask the inviting institution to confirm that the Fulbright Commission in the inviting country offers Inter-Country Travel Grants. If so, you should apply for an Inter-Country Travel Grant directly with the relevant Commission.
To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.

The Fulbright Specialist Program – 2-6 weeks in Denmark
The Fulbright Specialist Program, part of the larger Fulbright Program, was established in 2001 by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program is an initiative in which host institutions can invite highly qualified U.S. academic or professional specialists to contribute to and work on projects of shared interest. By sharing their expertise, the host institution and specialist work towards strengthening the linkages between the U.S. and the Danish host institution.
Fulbright Denmark accepts projects from host institutions with a named specialist in mind OR so-called open projects, where the concept of the project is articulated but no particular specialist is identified.
Project activities
Host institutions design collaborative projects in over 20 eligible disciplines, including education, business, law, environmental science, journalism, and public health. Specific project activities may include, but are not limited to:
- Delivering a seminar or workshop
- Consulting on faculty or workforce development
- Developing academic or training curricula and materials
- Co-lecturing at the graduate or undergraduate level
- Conducting needs assessments or evaluations for a program or institution
Below you can find examples of previous projects:
All Host Institutions
Vocational Colleges and Schools of Applied Science
Institutions within the Arts
Non-Academic Institutions
Projects must be between 14-42 days (travel days included). Multi-visits may be possible, but the combined number of days for both visits cannot exceed 42 days.
Fulbright Specialist Program covers:
- Flights
- Stipend
Host institution covers:
- Lodgings
- Meals
- In-country transportation
Two possible tracks
1. NAMED SPECIALIST
The host can develop a project proposal collaboratively with a specific individual (i.e. named project model). We strongly recommend that the Danish institution is in contact with any individuals of interest before submitting the project proposal to confirm the scholar’s interest and availability. The scholar should also be sure register in the so-called Specialist Roster for review. The Roster is a database, where all Specialists have to register to be pre-approved.
2. OPEN PROJECT MODEL
Through the open project model, Fulbright Denmark can directly recruit individuals from U.S. colleges for the project of a Danish institution. This is an excellent way for the Danish host to be able to review multiple potential candidates with a strong interest in their project.
Advantages of the Specialist Program
- Very flexible, can be an “appetizer” for long-term exchanges
- The visit can be adapted into the existing curriculum and semester schedule
- Academic excellence “on demand” – specialists can contribute to very specific challenges and knowledge gaps
- Host institutions gain global perspectives from experienced academics and professionals from the U.S.
- Perfect for projects that require a rapid response or flexible timeline
through short-term, year-round exchanges - Building sustained relationships with individuals and host institutions in
the U.S. – ad possibilities for long-term alliances.
Eligibility
- For specialists: Be a U.S. citizen; and have significant experience in one of the eligible disciplines, as demonstrated by professional, academic, or artistic achievements.
- For host institutions: Institutions of Higher Education, Government institutions, Cultural institutions, NGOs, Medical or Public Health Institutions.
