• Microbiologists in India and the US to visit institutions in the other country to teach an interactive short course on a topic in any of the microbiological disciplines through the Teaching Professorship.  Volunteer as a Visiting Teaching Professor
• Microbiologists in India to participate in an interactive short course on a topic in any of the microbiological disciplines, or conduct a research project in partnership with colleague in a research facility in the US through the Research Professorship.  Volunteer to host a Visiting Research Professor

UNESCO/ASM International Visiting Resource Person (VRP) Program
Members of the ASM who will be visiting resource-limited nations on academic or other business can arrange to spend a day with colleagues at a University or Research Institute in a major city.  The ASM member is expected to present a seminar to faculty and students in the institution and to spend the rest of the visit as a resource person discussing novel ideas for scientific research, curriculum development and international co-operation with local faculty and students.

Volunteer Translators Network
The International Education Committee (IEC) has launched the Volunteer Translators Network Program to make ASM web-based materials more accessible to international members.  Through this program, ASM members can assist in translating important resources, such as the MicrobeLibrary, into other languages.  Currently, the IEC is working with Spanish, French, and Portuguese-speaking members and actively seeking additional volunteers.
