The African Staff Exchange Programme
|
Objectives of the Programme
The objectives of this programme are to promote inter-university
co-operation through academic mobility and to enhance the quality of
teaching and research in African universities. DAAD co-operates with the
IUCEA in the allocation of funding each year to IUCEA's African Staff
Exchange Programme with respect to teaching assignments, courses and
seminars to which credits are allocated.
Eligibility
Participants in the programme must be nominated by IUCEA member
institutions needing their services, indicating what the duties and
functions will be, including expected period and duration, and are granted
leave of absence by their home institutions for the purpose of teaching
at the guest institution. The duration of a teaching assignment may extend
from at least two weeks to three months. Female applications will be
especially encouraged to participate in the programme.
Procedure
Applications are made directly to IUCEA:

assignment upon return.
Payment
