The Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program (FMPBP), part of Global Affairs Canada’s International Scholarships Program, is now open for the 2027-28 academic year.

The program supports professors at Canadian post-secondary institutions in undertaking short-term teaching and/or research activities abroad as a means of exploring, establishing, and advancing institutional partnerships. These collaborations may support research, student mobility, joint programming, capacity building, and other areas of mutual interest.
