Lecturer seminar grants
Purpose
Biennial seminars for university lecturers in Dutch are held in a number of regions and countries. The purpose of these seminars is to promote the exchange of subject knowledge and to strengthen network development. These seminars also serve the purpose of refresher training.
Target group
Participants of these seminars are persons who actually teach Dutch at a foreign university.
Conditions
The seminars of university lecturers in Dutch are organised directly by an academic network or under the umbrella of an academic network. The organiser in the region in question will take care of the programme content, the logistical preparation and general organisation of the seminar of lecturers. The Language Union does not play any role in the logistical preparation.
Procedure
The academic network or the organiser must submit a substantive proposal to the Language Union, together with a (provisional) list of participants and a detailed budget. After assessment and approval of the proposal, the Language Union will allocate a grant to the academic network or the organiser of the seminar. The grant will amount to a maximum of € 500 for each participant from the region. In exceptional cases, the costs for external speakers giving a presentation during the plenary part of the seminar can be paid out from the total budget allocated. The application form (pdf document) can be downloaded here.
Financial accountability and substantive reporting
The Language Union must receive the financial statement of the grant no later than three months after the seminar. Not all financial records need be included with this account. However, these documents should be stored for a period of five years by the academic network or contact point to enable the Language Union to check the financial statement on a sample basis. In addition to the financial statement, a substantive report about the lecturers' seminar is required.
