Launched in 2019, the Faculty Enrichment Program (FEP) is a joint initiative of the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and implemented by American Councils for International Education in Uzbekistan. The program has provided Uzbek higher education faculty the opportunity to spend a semester at a U.S. university - enhancing curriculum design, exploring innovative teaching methods, deepening subject-matter expertise, and fostering academic collaboration with U.S. counterparts.
We understand that many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next recruitment cycle, which typically begins in early to mid-fall each year. However, the program is taking a different direction, and American Councils does not anticipate offering a faculty exchange opportunity in Uzbekistan at this time.
We sincerely appreciate the strong interest and enthusiasm the academic community has shown for FEP and will share updates should new opportunities arise.
