The Summer University (SUN) is an academic program for university professors, 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 co-operation and curriculum development by drawing togther young faculty in lectures, seminars and workshops.

Eligibility and Funding

- Applications are invited from all countries. For participants from Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union the grant 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.

Applicants from countries other than the former Soviet Union and Central Eastern Europe must pay for tuition ($200/week of instruction equalling 1,200 classroom minutes), accommodation, health insurance, travel and meals. There are, however, a limited number of tuition waivers available for which applications are accepted 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.

Admission policy

Applicants are not eligible to apply to a SUN course if they attended either a CRC 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.

Former CEU students may only apply if they currently hold a teaching position n their home country. Preference will be given to new applicants over former participants in Summer University courses.

Applications must be received by the Summer University Office no later than January 17, 2000.

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. For additional information please contact:
