Strategic Partner Mobility Call

Updated guidelines and application link to be published soon

Deadline: Monday, October 20th, 2025

The Strategic Partner Mobility Call is open to full-time faculty from any discipline at UGA seeking to collaborate with colleagues at select partner institutions abroad, including in Germany, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom. This program is centered around the bilateral exchange of faculty. It is intended to facilitate new, self-sustaining academic partnerships in research, teaching, or service with scholars abroad, with reciprocal faculty exchange and active engagement at the partner institution being the principal goal of the program.

Proposals should demonstrate a clear commitment to reciprocal visits to UGA by the international partner prior to the close of calendar year 2026 and identify a targeted source of future extramural funding or other concrete initiatives geared toward longer-term collaboration. Proposals that seek to deepen relationships with partner institutions generating significant academic output, academic program development, and/or future extramural funding are especially welcome.

This call is for engagement with the following partner institutions: the University of Liverpool, the University of Leeds, both in the United Kingdom, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich in Germany, and higher education institutions in the Republic of Korea. In the latter case, there is no requirement that the university or research institution visited is an existing UGA partner; however, proposals will be favorably considered that deepen relationships with Korean institutions with which UGA has a successful record of collaboration and with which UGA faculty will have the greatest likelihood of generating significant academic output, academic programming, and future extramural funding.
