Overview
In March 2001, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State and the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, announced the launching of the Fulbright new Century Scholars Program (NCS), one of three new initiatives designed to build on the strengths of the Fulbright Scholar Program by extending its mission and outreach.
The New Century Scholars Program will play a vital role in forging new links among scholars and professionals from around the world who will work together to seek solutions to issues and concerns that affect humankind.
Thirty top academics and professionals from the U.S. and abroad collaborate for a year on a topic of global significance. The New Century Scholar theme for 2009-2010 is "The University as Innovation Driver and Knowledge Center". The program description for 2010-2011 is to be determined.
