The Global Challenges Teaching Awards support pairs of teaching faculty—one at a US higher education institution (HEI) and one at a UK HEI—in co-delivering virtual exchange programs for undergraduates that contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

We welcome applications from any faculty who teach an accredited course at a higher education institution in either the US or the UK, or their overseas territories. Applicants need the support of their institution and must be eligible for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (US applicants) or US ESTA (UK applicants), or have or intend to apply for a different entry clearance, for the visits to the partner institution.

These awards allow Cornellians to visit partner institutions such as Imperial College London, King's College London, Queen Mary University of London, University College London, or University of Edinburgh.
