The U.S.-CARNet program is designed to foster long-term collaboration, shared research, and joint publication among Central Asian and U.S. experts on East Asia, with a particular focus on China. Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic and administered by American Councils.
Selected Central Asian scholars will come to the U.S. for a semester-long placement at a U.S. Title VI Center. Each scholar will be matched with a U.S. colleague who shares their research interests and is prepared to develop at least one joint article for publication with the visiting scholar. Scholars will begin their collaborations during the initial research tour of U.S. China experts to the region in March 2024; broaden their connections and advance their collaborative research plans during the three-week professional development program in the U.S. in June, and then work closely together throughout the semester to complete their article and explore new topics for possible collaboration in the future.
