Staff Exchange or Legal Alien Programs

SRA would very much like to support the exchange of best practice between members throughout the year and the Membership Committee is presently looking into the opportunities for a Staff Exchange or Legal Alien Program. However the International Section has already had the chance to provide this service to a member from Denmark, who wished to come to a Research Institution in the US for a short term visit to get a first hand insight into the American way of doing things.

In this article I have asked Sandra Nordahl from the San Diego State University Research Foundation on the perspectives from the Host and Rune Nørgaard Jørgensen from the University of Southern Denmark on the perspectives of such a visit.
