Faculty Exchanges & Fellowships

Faculty Exchanges: IPAN coordinates faculty exchanges between the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) and foreign universities, and long-term study programs. Faculty exchanges are six months to one year in length. We have had a visiting Indian scientist work on bioremediation, another on crop science, and yet another on fish biotechnology projects. These programs can be designed by the exchange candidate and his or her supervising UMD professor.

Fellowships: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) sponsors the Borlaug Fellows program and we have been fortunate to have these leading researchers work at the University of Maryland.

2006: UMD hosted a Borlaug Fellow from Bulgaria who studied phytoremediation. (Weismiller)
