For American Fulbright grantees studying in Europe (outside of France), wishing to lecture in another European country, and for French institutions, wishing to invite an American Fulbright grantee studying in another European country.

Grants may consist of one multi-country trip, two or three single country trips or two dual-country trips. 

Candidates receive the grant for three to six months with a minimum of one month spent in each host country each visit. Grants may be conducted within one academic year or spread over two consecutive years.
