European Program for the Exchange of Lecturers (EPEL)
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR 9/2018-9/2019
DEADLINE 1 SEPTEMBER 2017
The European Program for the Exchange of Lecturers (EPEL) is sponsored
by the Korea Foundation. Every year AKSE draws up a comprehensive
proposal and budget for future years. The AKSE proposal consists of
proposals from individual universities. Lectures sponsored by this
program should be an integral part of the curriculum of the institution
where they are presented. The lecturers are reimbursed for their travel
within European countries, accommodation expenses, and meals by the AKSE
Treasurer, but lecturers are not paid a lecture fee. This program offers
excellent opportunities for AKSE members to augment their institutional
offerings and to meet and exchange ideas concerning both research and
teaching.
Please send your proposal to the AKSE President before 1 September 2017
(jay.lewis at orinst.ox.ac.uk). Your proposal must contain: the names of
scholars, the titles of lectures, the dates of the lectures, a budget
for transportation, hotel, and meals. All applications must be sent to
the President of AKSE. Lecturers will pay their own expenses and then
request reimbursement by sending the correct form with receipts to the
treasurer, Koen De Ceuster. All reports of lectures given have to be
sent to the President of AKSE for report to the Korea Foundation. These
are usually due in July of every year.
Further Guidelines for Applications to EPEL
Priority is given to applications from universities where there are few
teaching staff. EPEL Guest Lecturers can assist teaching staff in
replacing a limited number of teaching hours. EPEL lectures have to be a
part of courses taught and not form a special seminar. The lectures have
to offer academic credits or units and form a part of examinations. All
applications must explain how these conditions are met. The AKSE
President and Council will endeavour to secure adequate funding from the
Korea Foundation to support EPEL applications, but the final funding
decision resides with the Korea Foundation and only partial funding may
finally be available to applicants. These circumstances are beyond the
control of the AKSE President and Council. It is for these reasons that
applicant universities are strongly encouraged to seek and secure
alternative sources to support Guest Lecturers.
Specific Guidelines:
1) All applications are judged on their quality.
2) All proposals should offer an overview of the teaching program and
specify how many staff teach primarily for Korean Studies. For an
example of a past successful application, click here.
3) If any invited scholar cancels within one month of the scheduled
lecture without reasonable cause (illness or other unforeseen
circumstances) he or she cannot be invited to be a Guest Lecturer within
any EPEL application for a period of 2 years. In case of cancellation,
the applicant university has to immediately contact the AKSE President
and propose a replacement name so that the new proposal can be
evaluated. Notification has to be done within one week of cancellation.
If the applicant university does not follow these procedures regarding
cancellations, then the university cannot apply for EPEL funding in the
following year.
4) Each university can apply for a maximum of €2,500 and is responsible
for administering their budget. The AKSE Council will not supply any
additional funding beyond the original application amount. Any
additional costs, even unforeseen, must be borne by the applicant
university or the Guest Lecturer.
5) Each Guest Lecturer will be informed of the total amount they are
allotted for transportation, hotel, and meals by the applicant
university. The Guest Lecturer is free to spend their allotment in the
best way they see fit in any mixture. For example, if transportation
costs are much lower than originally anticipated, then the Guest
Lecturer is free to upgrade their hotel or to spend more on meals. The
AKSE Council encourages the expenditure of the full budget amount. Any
expenditure in excess of the total amount allotted by the original
budget will be the responsibility of the Guest Lecturer or the applicant
university.
6) All Guest Lecturers are responsible for keeping track of their
expenditures, collecting their own receipts, and then submitting a
reimbursement form to the AKSE Treasurer. A reimbursement form is
available on the AKSE website.
7) Deadlines: 1 September 2017 for Reports for 9/2016-9/2017 and 1
September 2017 for new applications for 9/2018-9/2019.
