One of our current US Fulbright Students, Natalie Call, is studying in Greenland as part of our special Arctic grant, where a lucky US student spends one semester at the Arctic Research Center at Aarhus University and one semester in Greenland in collaboration with the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. We just received this wonderful update from Natalie:

“Greetings from Greenland! I am enjoying my first weeks in the Arctic and adapting well to the cold. I am enjoying my Sea Ice Ecology course and gaining some experience in ice core sampling.”

Very exciting update from Fulbrighter Emily Nguyen, who is at the EU-NATO seminar in Luxembourg right now:

"I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to represent Denmark at this year’s Fulbright EU-NATO Seminar. I’ve learned so much and have met so many lovely Fulbrighters!

On Tuesday, I arrived in Luxembourg, where we visited the US Ambassador to Luxembourg’s house and Dr. Sheridan from American University Brussels provided an introduction to the European Union. Then, we had a surprise guest: the newly-elected Prime Minister of Luxembourg! He was also a Fulbrighter, and made the time to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Fulbright in Belgium and Luxembourg.

On Wednesday, we had the chance to visit the European Court of Justice, where we listened in on a live hearing of a case. Then, we had a private talk with Koen Lenaerts, the President of the Court of Justice. After, we headed to Brussels, where on Thursday we explored more about the inner workings of the European Commission and toured the European Parliament. Today, I am excited to visit the NATO headquarters!

I have truly enjoyed my time at the EU-NATO Seminar, and it has been incredibly informative to learn more about both the European Union and NATO, and the role the United States plays in them. I am inspired by the perspectives that all of the Fulbrighters from so many different countries and subject areas bring to the EU-NATO Seminar. I know I will be bringing all of the knowledge and insight I gained from this seminar back to both Denmark and the United States!"

"Jeg er desuden blevet mødt med varme og anerkendelse, hver gang at jeg har nævnt, at jeg er Fulbrighter. Jeg vil opfordre andre, som overvejer et akademisk ophold i USA, at starte deres planlægning i god tid og så ellers bare at springe ud i det." - Sådan siger Frederik Almar om sit ophold ved Yale University 🤩

I efteråret 2023 tog han til USA, som en del af hans ph.d.-uddannelse i økonomi ved Aarhus Universitet. Der fik han blandt andet mulighed for at præsentere og diskutere sine egne forskningsprojekter med fokus på indkomstulighed og sammenhængene mellem ægteskabsmarkedet og arbejdsmarkedet!

"Mit bedste råd til dig der drømmer om at tage et ophold til USA, er at starte i god tid, og så ellers bare kast dig ud i det. I starten virker det uoverskueligt, men det er det hele værd, og det kommer til at blive den bedste oplevelse man kan forestille sig."

Harvard Medical School, Boston Children's Hospital, hvor han arbejdede med genetiske variationer og sygdomsudvikling. Læs mere om hans ophold i linket nedenfor!

"Et vigtigt råd i forbindelse med overvejelser om et akademisk ophold i USA er at tage af sted alene. Når du er alene, er du langt mere åben for at møde nye mennesker, og du udfordrer dig selv personligt i højere grad. Et andet vigtigt råd, som jeg gerne vil give med på vejen, er ikke at lade sig skræmme af alle de praktiske foranstaltninger, der er knyttet til et udvekslingsophold. Selvom der er mange af dem, er et udvekslingsophold i USA en oplevelse for livet, der giver så meget fantastisk faglig og personlig viden med sig. At overkomme de praktiske foranstaltninger bliver dog lettere med et Fulbright-legat, da Fulbright Danmark med afrejsechecklister, hjælp til visum, folkeregister, de rette vacciner og meget mere sørger for at hjælpe én godt på vej."

- Emilie Helstrup, Fulbright 2022/2023

In their capacity as cultural ambassadors, Fulbright awardees have assumed a crucial mantle in the advancement of sustainable futures. This has been realized through their collaborative efforts across cultures, spanning domains such as research, policy formulation, education, and technological breakthroughs. To underscore these commendable endeavors aimed at safeguarding our planet and its inhabitants, we extend a warm invitation to Fulbright grantees worldwide, urging them to impart their first-hand encounters in shaping sustainable futures to a broader audience.

The window for expressing interest concludes on the 15th of October, 2023. Comprehensive submission guidelines and additional particulars can be accessed through the Fulbright Chronicles platform:

On August 24 and 25, Fulbright Denmark orchestrated our annual Arrival Orientation at the Fulbright Center, catering to our cohort of American grantees, and scholars. This event is particularly significant for a soft ‘landing’ of our American grantees and their families, as they embark upon their academic and personal journey in Denmark.

This year, we clearly see the result of our recruitment endeavors targeting three focal domains: Sustainability, Space, and Life Sciences. This concerted effort has attracted exceptional American students and scholars to Denmark specializing in these fields. They will be a great asset to their academic host environments.

We are proud that our work at Fulbright Denmark contributes to the internationalization efforts of the institutions of higher education in Denmark – and that our grantees will create memories for life, build strong Danish-American liaisons and get an understanding for each other’s culture and values.
