Description
SEE has launched a new initiative to enable individual US and Russian social experts to build cross-border collaborative projects that address common social challenges and result in benefits for both countries.
The SEE “Independent Professionals Project Initiative” will establish or strengthen partnerships between US and Russian experts and host organizations in their counterpart countries by means of a collaborative project that focuses on one or more of SEE’s thematic areas. Competitively selected candidates will travel to the host organization for 7 to 14 days to conduct activities related to their proposed project.
