Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program
Grants for Canadian faculty to support the creation and expansion of academic partnerships with post-secondary institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean through short-term teaching or research activities.
About the Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program
The Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program, administered by Global Affairs Canada through EduCanada, provides grants to support Canadian faculty members. The program aims to create and expand academic partnerships with post-secondary institutions located in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Selected candidates undertake short-term teaching or research activities at eligible host institutions abroad. Funding is provided to cover costs associated with mobility, allowing Canadian educators to strengthen institutional linkages and foster international cooperation.
Individual faculty members cannot apply directly to Global Affairs Canada. Canadian postsecondary institutions must submit applications online on behalf of eligible candidates through the My EduCanada portal using an institution account.
The program operates on an annual academic cycle, with application windows typically opening in the autumn months. Canadian institutions manage the internal nomination and submission process before the stated application deadlines.
