The distinctive BRIDGE Fellowship program brings together international research teams in the UK and the US and paves the way to institutionalized faculty links. The jointly recruited cohort of high-potential early-career researchers have gone onto tenure-track positions in education, neuroscience, psychology, maternal health, and cultural heritage. Fellows work across Birmingham and Illinois on key global challenges and act as a bridge to cultivate broader engagement between transatlantic research teams.
To celebrate the importance of this partnership, Professor Tim Softley, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Transfer at the University of Birmingham, and Professor Reitumetse Obakeng Mabokela, Vice Provost for International Affairs and Global Strategies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, invite you to join us for a series of virtual seminars, in which BRIDGE Fellows and academic colleagues will present and highlight the vital research that is taking place through this important initiative.
