Fulbright á Íslandi tekur þátt í sk. Inter-Country Travel Grant Program og veitir þannig íslenskum stofnunum og háskólum tækifæri til að fá Fulbright fræðimenn í öðrum Evrópulöndum í nokkurra daga heimsókn til Íslands til skrafs og ráðagerða.
Þetta er góð lausn t.d. ef leitað er ákveðinnar sérþekkingar fyrir ráðstefnu eða málstofu sem stendur fyrir dyrum eða til að fá prófessor með ákveðna sérþekkingu inn í námskeið sem verið er að kenna. Slíkar heimsóknir leiða oft til frekara samstarfs þótt stuttar sé. Hér fyrir neðan má finna frekari upplýsingar á ensku:

The Icelandic institution is expected to cover other resulting expenses (accommodation, meals and other in-country transport).

If selected, the host will be responsible for making travel arrangements and will be reimbursed by the Commission.
The Icelandic host institution identifies a suitable scholar from the list of US Fulbright scholars in Europe for the current academic year. If a potential host has not had previous contact with a scholar of interest, the Fulbright Commission may initiate contact on the host’s behalf.
