Notre Dame Global is pleased to announce the Asia Guest Scholar/Artist Partnership Program. The goal of this program is to partner with on-campus centers/institutes/departments in bringing to Notre Dame guest scholars and artists from Asia with outstanding reputations in their field. During the visit, the guest scholar/artist would pursue their own research/art and discuss future collaborations, while engaging in the intellectual/artistic life and community at Notre Dame.

Applications can be made for a semester or part thereof, with a minimum stay of 2 weeks. Applications are accepted for spring and summer periods. A faculty member must agree submit an application from the hosting unit/center/department, including supporting documentation from the guest scholar/artist. That faculty member must also be willing to facilitate engagement on campus and the hosting unit/center/department must be willing to facilitate logistics.

The Asia Guest Scholar/Artist will be expected to, at a minimum, give a talk to faculty/graduate students in the hosting unit regarding their research/creative work and depending on the length of stay, more engagement is welcomed. The application should include details of that planned engagement. If the guest scholar/artist is coming from the locale of one of Notre Dame's global locations, details of engagement, on their return, with the University through that location is requested.

 *All international guest scholars/artists will need an immigration status to enter the U.S. The hosting unit will be responsible for engaging International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) in the process of determining the appropriate visa status and securing any necessary documentation.
