There is a plethora of programs offered globally. Examples are the ASCL Visiting Fellowship Programme for African Researchers, which offers three-month fellowships at the African Studies Centre Leiden in the Netherlands, and the British Academy Visiting Fellowships, which permit academics to carry out research projects in the UK for up to six months. The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program is an additional choice; program durations and qualifying requirements differ by nation. The British Academy’s strong commitment to worldwide participation is exemplified by its Visiting Fellowship program. The goal of this initiative is to maintain the UK’s status as a desirable and fruitful research destination for scholars from throughout the world. Among the program’s objectives are:
– Strengthening and creating new ties between researchers in the UK and other countries
