International Summer University Macedonia 2005 - Apply to Teach
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.
