ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS
OFDS Enrichment Program
Thematic international seminars open to broad participation that provide academically grounded, place-based learning for professional and personal enrichment.
Enrichment programs are thematic international seminars that are open to broad participation that provide academically grounded and place-based learning for professional and personal enrichment. These programs are tuition based programs with some eligibility for partial financial support. CAORC is working with its broad range of American Overseas Research Centers to bring international educational travel experiences to participants outside academia, while encouraging scholars to enhance their knowledge outside of typical fellowship and grant opportunities.
The Council of American Overseas Research Centers and its member centers offer a range of Overseas Faculty Development Seminars designed to serve different audiences and institutional needs while maintaining a consistent academic framework. These include fully funded seminars for U.S. college and university faculty and administrators, customized seminars for partner cohorts, open enrollment programs for broader participation, and the Faculty Leadership for International Training and Exchange (FLITE) program. Together, these offerings expand access to the network of American Overseas Research Centers and to international, place-based learning, while ensuring that each seminar remains focused, relevant, and aligned with participant goals.
