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! 
Visit www.academictraining.org

The courses

The University of Pristina provided more than 45 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.

List of course suggestions available on www.academictraining.org

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 
housing. Visiting professors will teach pro bono, but will be paid a daily 
allowance, or per diem of 15 Euro per teaching day.
