CGSs aims to raise UW’s international profile for its outstanding research and creative activity by encouraging and supporting international conferences to be held at the University of Wyoming. To that end, we have developed a seed/planning grant program in collaboration with the Research and Economic Development Division (REDD).

Applications are now open for funding to support a conference in Fiscal Year 2027 (Fall 2026 - Summer 2027). The funding will be available to you in the year of your conference, and will enable you to launch your planning or your conference bid this year. Funding can be expanded in advance for events through Summer 2027.

If you have any questions, please reach out to REDD at resdev@uwyo.edu or CGS at cmf@uwyo.edu.

In successive years, pairs of UW faculty from different disciplines, and who have trained in the varied resources and transdisciplinary methods of the Abbotsford cohort, develop and teach a summer program in Scotland. Their courses typically have a first footprint at Abbotsford, then move on to other locations across the country. Courses embrace the varied resources of the region through transdisciplinary teaching.

Previous courses have included:

• Castles, Crowns, and the Enlightenment: Identity, Power, and Ideas in Scotland and England
• Wyoming in Scotland: Inspiration, Imagination, Innovation
• Earth, Energy, & Culture in Scotland
• Scottish Rural Spaces: From Ancient Fields and Forests to Modern Food Systems
