Eligibility
The call is open to university professors from all around the world. Generally speaking, course proposals matching with or adding to the course suggestions provided by the university departments (based on their priorities and needs) have a substantial chance of being accepted. Additionally, departments are especially interested in hosting international teaching faculty who have the intention to develop future institutionalized co-operation with the UP. Furthermore, if no appropriate local counterpart, i.e. co-professor can be appointed for your course, the UPISU Committee may prefer to select a different course/visiting professor, even though your application material is of high quality.
Remuneration
- Selected visiting professors will be paid a modest allowance 500 EUR for the whole course.
- UPISU staff will purchase your ticket as soon as possible in order to contain the expenses made for travel reimbursement
- UPISU staff will make housing arrangements. Visiting professors will stay in a dormitory. Accommodation costs will be covered by the organization. You will share your accommodation with other visiting professors. The organization will arrange accommodation to cover your teaching period, plus 3 days preceding and/or following your teaching period if necessary (depending on the dates of your arrival and departure)
The UP does not cover costs for (additional health, molest or travel) insurance.
