WHAT DOES VISITING PROFESSOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Visiting scholar

In the world of academia, a visiting scholar, visiting academic or visiting professor is a scholar from an institution who visits a host university, where he or she is projected to teach, lecture, or perform research on a topic the visitor is valued for. In many cases the position is not salaried because the scholar typically is salaried by his or her home institution, while some visiting positions are salaried. Typically, a position as visiting scholar is for a couple of months or even a year, though it can be extended. It is not unusual that host institutions provide accommodation for the visiting scholar. Typically, a visiting scholar is invited by the host institution. Being invited as a visiting scholar is often regarded as a significant accolade and recognition of the scholar's prominence in the field. Other terms for visiting scholars include visiting researcher, visiting fellow and visiting lecturer. Sometimes "guest" is used instead of "visiting," e.g., guest professor.
