South Africa Exchange Program

The University of Missouri South Africa Education Program Committee invites proposals from those who are interested in participating in an academic exchange between the University of Missouri and South Africa. This includes two programs: 

1. University of Western Cape (UWC) in Cape Town, South Africa
   UWC is organized around departments in arts and philosophy, science and mathematics, education, community health sciences, business and economics, law, theology, and dentistry. 

The UWC linkage program will consider three types of visits:

• Long-term visit to South Africa (two to six months)
• Collaborative projects involving UM and UWC partners
• Short-term visits (one to two months) expected to lead to collaborative project

2. South African Partnership Program
   This program supports collaborative projects between the University of Missouri and new or existing partners in South Africa. This focuses on collaborative projects with appropriate organizations and institutions in South Africa. Priority will be given to projects initiated in collaboration with historically disadvantaged tertiary education institutions. 

Eligibility: Applicants must be benefits-eligible (75% FTE) University of Missouri employees holding academic appointments. Other university staff members will be considered in exceptional cases.

Applications deadlines are due July 15th annually. For more information go here.
