>  Pristina Summer University 2002 - Apply Now to Teach !
>From Monday 15 July to Friday 2 August, the University of Pristina (UP) and 
>the Academic Training Association (ATA) will organise the 2nd Pristina 
>Summer University in Pristina, Kosovo. Apply now to teach at this event!

>The courses
>
>The University of Pristina provided more than 60 course suggestions in 
>various fields. Eventually, 30 courses will be selected into the PSU 
>programme. Generally, all courses should be instructed in English or 
>Albanian. Highly interactive teaching methods, which stimulate critical 
>thinking and promote discussion, have priority. Each course will be 
>co-taught by the visiting professor and a local teaching staff member. 
>Recent innovations in academic methods and skills will thus be transferred 
>directly to local teaching staff. This will enable them to pass on new 
>techniques and knowledge to their own students during the regular academic 
>year. About 20 students from Kosovo and other countries will be selected 
>for each course. To encourage compatibility between the PSU programme and 
>the regular UP curriculum, each PSU course equals preferably 6 ECTS 
>credits.

>The programme
>
>The programme will bring together regional & international professors and 
>lecturers for a period of three weeks and will provide about 30 courses in 
>the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. In addition, public 
>discussions, lectures, recreational events and excursions will be 
>organised. The programme intensively trains local students and regional 
>young academic staff. The project aims to address the needs of higher 
>education in Kosovo as well as to encourage reconciliation and cooperation 
>between academic and other communities in the region.

>Remuneration

>Visiting professors are kindly requested to inquire at their home 
>institutions about funds to cover their own travel expenses. If you have 
>not been able to raise funds for travelling to Pristina at your own 
>institution, ATA will partially or completely reimburse expenses incurred 
>travelling to the PSU. ATA and the University of Pristina will provide

>allowance, or per diem of 15 Euro per teaching day.
