US-UK Fulbright Commission

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting our US grantees in London for our 2026 Forum. The energy was something truly special, the kind of spirit that reminds you exactly why this exchange matters. There is nothing quite like bringing together a group of exceptional people united by curiosity, ambition, and a commitment to making a difference on both sides of the Atlantic.

And what a way to bring things to a close, with the Eccles Lecture at The British Library. Chaired by Ramsden Madeus, the panel brought together playwright and screenwriter Ade Solanke FRSA, LAMDA Professor of Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama Rodney Cottier, and Kate Dossett, Professor of American History and Black Theatre at the University of Leeds, for a fascinating exploration of the transatlantic exchange of theatrical ideas. A fitting, inspiring end to a remarkable Forum.

Thank you to every grantee, speaker, member of staff, and supporter who made this Forum what it was.

Patricia Garcia’s journey is a brilliant example of how the Fulbright experience empowers students to think creatively, tackle real‑world challenges, and build solutions with global impact.

We’re proud to see Fulbright grantees like Patricia turning bold ideas into meaningful change. 🌍💡
