All faculty and staff involved in coordinating exchanges are encouraged to register the information with ISP to ensure that the database is as accurate and useful as possible. Establishing International Exchanges gives guidelines for writing and implementing new agreements. ISP manages both the distribution of a variety of travel grants and a database of funding opportunities for U of M faculty and staff. The grants enable U faculty to participate in one-time research or conference opportunities, or fund initial phases of projects that will ultimately be supported by other sources. The funding database lists options from organizations around the world.
Students also have access to a variety of international exchange opportunities.
The Global Campus, the university's study abroad office, manages exchanges and works with departments to provide appropriate opportunities for students. For more information on developing exchanges for faculty, staff or students or funding for opportunities abroad , visit ISP's web site. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
