ieiMedia Research Fellowship

ieiMedia is committed to fostering a culture of academic excellence, innovation, and global engagement. Allowing professors to participate in our projects under an ieiMedia Research Fellowship for study abroad aligns to our vision by helping our Fellows speak to the value of international media as an important part of a student’s education.

Enhanced Research and Innovation

When ieiMedia Research Fellows collaborate with our professors, they gain access to new methodologies, emerging trends, and diverse perspectives in studying abroad with a focus on experiential learning.  The knowledge gained enhances their thought leadership surrounding international education which is brought home to your university.

Enriched Classroom Experience

Professors who join us as a Research Fellow will bring back firsthand knowledge of best practices in international education and understand the value cultural insights bring to the field of journalism whether at home or abroad. This enriches their teaching, providing students with a more globalized education that prepares them for today’s interconnected world.

Stronger Institutional Partnerships

By building relationships with leading universities worldwide, ieiMedia creates collaborative engagements with peers in your field.  With ieiMedia being a connecting force, we can help you bring our cross-university projects to your institution.  Bringing professors and students together where normally there are constraints due to minimum requirements are among the many hurdles we can overcome.  Adding our projects to your university is an easy way to offer relevant summer study abroad programs to your Communication and Public Relations majors.

Cross-Cultural Understanding and Global Citizenship

Professors who immerse themselves in different cultural and academic environments return with a broader perspective. This not only influences their research and teaching but also fosters an institutional culture that values diversity, inclusivity, and global responsibility.

Get started today…

The support of professors attending Research Fellows programs abroad is an investment in the intellectual capital of your university.  It ensures that they remain at the forefront of academic excellence with a truly global outlook.  We hope your institution values the importance of study abroad as much as we do and can make it possible to see you this summer on an ieiMedia Research Fellowship.
