Dear Korean Studies colleagues in Europe:
With the generous support of the Korea Foundation, the European Program
for the Exchange of Lecturers (EPEL) will continue in the period from
March 2023 to February 2024 under the following conditions:
- Only in situ lectures are supported. All costs incurred for the
lecturer will be reimbursed, no honorarium will be paid.
- In case of resurgence of the pandemic or of similar emergencies due to
a force majeure (i.e., not related to personal matters), the lecture can
be given online. In this case, the lecturer can claim a honorarium of €
300, but only after a video of the lecture has been made available
online and the link is published on the AKSE website. The hosting
institution can claim up to € 150,- for preparing a publishable version
of the video, on the basis of a per hour honorarium of € 25 for the work
involved.
The deadline for applications is *January 31, 2023*. Results will be
announced on *during February 2023*.
Please apply for EPEL lectures by sending a word file to the AKSE
president <marion.eggert at rub.de> AND to <epel at koreanstudies.eu>. In
preparing your application, please closely follow the guidelines below.
If existing funds do not suffice to honour all applications of good
quality, priority will be 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.
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.
3) In case of cancellation of an EPEL lecture, 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, but
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) A report on EPEL lectures will be due by January 31, 2023, even if
there remain lectures to be given in February. All applicants are
encouraged to plan their EPEL lectures to take place before January 31
if possible.
