[KS] European Program for the Exchange of Lecturers (EPEL): CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR 2024

[Barbara Wall]

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 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 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 *October 15, 2023*. Results will be
announced in* November 2023*.

Please apply for EPEL lectures by sending a word file to the AKSE vice
president barbara.wall at hum.ku.dk   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 in Korean Studies.
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 applicants 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 vice 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, 2025*.

Please find application form attached.


Best wishes from the AKSE Council
