Acknowledging the Fulbright Finland Foundation:
We hope you proudly acknowledge the Fulbright Finland Foundation, and use your identification as Fulbright scholar/student/teacher to advance your research and/or project. This is your judgment call to make, but we encourage you to recognize the Fulbright Finland Foundation if the paper, talk, exhibit etc. comes from your time as a Fulbright scholar. There is no standard required language, but you can use, for instance the following sentence: “This research/work has been supported by the Fulbright Finland Foundation.”
If you find it necessary, you can also add a sentence to note that “the conclusions and content of this research do not represent an endorsement or approval by the Fulbright Finland Foundation or its sponsors.”
Your Ambassadorial Role
As a Fulbright Finland Foundation's awardee, you are also an ambassador of the Foundation, your home institution, and Finland. Watch this video by Fulbright Finland alum Erkko Sointu, where he shares examples on how to be an ambassador (11 min 4 sec).
TASK:
Consider what kind of social media/online visibility (LinkedIn, Google Scholar etc.) you need. Think about your expertise, own hobbies, and strengths that you could share in presentations and conversations in the U.S.
