Deadline: 30-Oct-20
The Transitioning to Virtual Exchange Covid-19 Relief Fund launched by the FACE Foundation in collaboration with the French Embassy in the US and the US Embassy in France aims at supporting French-American collaborations and preparing for the post-pandemic when international travel resumes. Different needs and opportunities have been identified, ranging from a bottom-up call for proposal to structural training facilitating the creation of high impact initiatives.
International education is an area particularly impacted by the global health crisis. Students had to interrupt ongoing travel to return home in March, all programs for the spring and summer terms were canceled. The same applies to student exchange programs in fall 2020. As the focus necessarily shifts towards domestic politics, international collaboration needs to be redesigned and adapted to the ongoing pandemic and its aftermath.
