Training opportunity for academic staff in a participating ACUCA university

The Faculty Mobility Scheme (FMS) is designed to promote faculty exchange among member institutions of the Association of Christian Universities and Colleges in Asia (ACUCA). It aims to foster a better understanding of Asian communities and cultures and to increase academic and professional interactions for the benefit of both the faculty and students.

Member institutions would organize visits of faculty from their home schools to other schools (or vice versa) for periods from at least one week up to one month, during which time the visiting faculty would have opportunities to share their academic expertise through lectures and/or workshops and/or research cooperation.

They would also be assisted to interact with administrators, faculty, and students from the host institution to enhance their understanding of Christian identity and mission as well as academic strengths.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Three steps in nominating the qualified faculty or staff to the program:

• Eligibility
• Nomination to FMS participating institution
• Application for subsidies

The sending institution must consider the relevance of the discipline to which the nomination is made in order to ensure that it could possibly address the gaps or enhance institutional development. The qualifications of the nominees shall have the potential in contributing and strengthening the academic programs of the sending or host institution through teaching, research and other fields.

The sending institution shall be responsible in making the arrangements to the would-be host institution relative to accommodation and other details upon arrival of the grantee.

Letter of Acceptance from the host institution is necessary, which shall serve as an agreement between the two participating institutions. The same shall be attached to the Application Form and Subsidy Request, which should be submitted to the Secretariat.
