Keine Ahnung, warum manche Mailinglists erst mit bis zu einer Woche Verspätung ihre Nachrichten in meiner Inbox ablegen, aber seis drum, hier zwei Angebote mit Aktualitätswert:

1. International Summer University Macedonia 2005 - Apply to Teach

2. CfA: Fulbright International Summer Institute, Pamprovo/Bulgaria, 1-13.8.2005
ad 1.:International teaching faculty are invited to apply to teach at the International Summer University Macedonia (ISUM) that will start in mid-July 2005 (exact dates and location to be confirmed). If interested, please visit www.academictraining.org to apply online.

14 visiting professors together with 14 co-professors from Macedonia will provide an equal number of (ECTS-graded) two-week intensive courses in the disciplines of Economics, Law, Business Administration, Public Administration, Education Science, and Teacher Training.

About 30 students are admitted to each two-week course. Most of them originate from one of the four participating universities in Macedonia. Additionally, 90 international students, mostly from South East Europe, will participate. Visiting professors are provided with a budget to purchase reading materials and teaching equipment. Courses are held in English. Recreational activities provide ample opportunity to meet in an informal setting. Public debates on issues such as the Ohrid Agreement and the Bologna Process will also be organised.

Additionally, the project envisages one-week study visits for professors from Macedonia to universities abroad. These visits enable the visiting and co-professors to design their course and syllabus together.

Moreover, the ISUM includes a workshop programme for local faculty, contributing to the project’s overall aim to foster inter-university co-operation within Macedonia, while improving the quality of higher education in Macedonia and accelerating its integration into the European Higher Education Area.

Visiting professors are expected to have a PhD degree, preferably in one of the disciplines listed above, and relevant teaching experience. Professors from Western European universities will be given priority in the selection.

Visiting professors teach voluntarily. Professors receive full board or an allowance of 105 Euros per week. Travel expenses are reimbursed and free accommodation is provided.

More information, a list of courses suggested, and application forms can be obtained online at www.academictraining.org.
