Visiting Fellows Program

 The Visiting Scholar Program is intended as a unique Stanford experience for those selected. Associate, Senior and Principal Members are invited to send their selected staff to work at Stanford on topics of interest. The Center’s faculty and students benefit from the close association and experience of the Visiting Fellow. Stanford's Visiting Scholars are subject to the policies described in Stanford's Visiting Scholar's Research Policy Handbook

Member companies that have sent Visiting Scholars to Stanford have found that they return with many new skills and insights into the application of advanced technologies. In addition, they gain contacts and friends at Stanford and industry that can be an important source of support and knowledge in the future.

A Visiting Scholar sent to SCPNT typically becomes part of an existing research team and is given office space with access to all facilities of the SCPNT. In addition, they can audit Stanford classes and attend colloquia at no additional charge. If a Visiting Scholar desires to work on an individual research project, the Center will work to match them with an appropriate faculty member who can guide their research.

Member companies at the Associate level may send a staff member to Stanford as a Visiting Scholar for one month per year. Member companies at the Senior level may send a staff member to Stanford as a Visiting Scholar for three months per year. Member companies at the Principal level may send a staff member to Stanford as a Visiting Scholar for nine months per year. If possible, arrangements may be made for the Visiting Scholar to stay for a longer period for an additional charge.
