CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY
A Program for University Teachers and Professionals in the Social
Sciences and Humanities
SUMMER UNIVERSITY
HUNGARY 2001
July 9 - August 10, 2001
The Summer University (SUN) is an academic program for university
teachers, administrators and professionals. It offers a series of
intensive two-, three- or four-week courses in the social sciences and
humanities to encourage and promote regional academic cooperation and
curriculum development by drawing together young faculty in lectures,
seminars and workshops.
ELIGIBILITY AND FUNDING
Applications are invited from all countries. While the program is
still focusing on participants from Central and Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union and Mongolia, for SUN 2001 the scholarship
eligibility will extend worldwide with particular emphasis on
applicants from emerging democracies. The scholarship will cover
tuition cost, accommodation, travel, health insurance, and a book
allowance. The grant will also include a stipend to cover meals and
incidentals. However, participants from Budapest will only receive
free tuition, a book allowance and a reduced stipend.
Non-scholarship participants must pay for tuition ($200/week of
instruction equaling 1,200 classroom minutes), accommodation, health
insurance, travel and meals. However, there is a limited number of
tuition waivers available which may be applied for on a competitive
basis.
APPLICANTS MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA
Applicants must have a university degree and hold a teaching job at a
university or college in their home country, or work as an
administrator or a professional. Graduate students with teaching
experience may also apply. Undergraduates without a university degree
will not be considered.
The language of instruction is English; thus all applicants have to
demonstrate a strong command of English to be able to follow lectures
and participate actively in discussions at seminars and workshops.
Individuals are not eligible to apply to a SUN course if they attended
either a CRC (Curriculum Resource Center) session or Popper Workshop
in the same calendar or academic year (i.e., they must wait one year
after their participation in one of the above programs before applying
to SUN). Additionally, applicants are not eligible to apply to SUN if
they have participated in two CEU faculty initiative activities (i.e.,
CRC, SUN, Popper Workshop) within a four-year period. Preference will
be given to new applicants over former participants in Summer
University courses.
Currently enrolled CEU students are not eligible. Former CEU students
may only apply if they currently hold a teaching position in their
home country.
Successful applicants will receive a reader prior to the course and/or
will be asked to submit written assignments. The accomplishment of
these assignments is a pre-condition of participation. The course
Digital Literacy for Open Societies and Intergovernmental Fiscal
Relations will send out distance learning materials and will involve
participants in a pre- and post-course distance learning project.
Applications must be received by the Summer University Office no later
than January 15, 2001
A detailed course description with names of lecturers and topics to be
covered will be available in due course. Changes in faculty and/or
topics may occur.
