Benefits for Visiting Scholars and the EM TTI Consortium * You will benefit from extending your professional networks to include successful EM TTI students, and will provide a bridge between existing networks in Europe and abroad. * You will be able to further enhance the programme and contribute directly to the assessment of students, for example setting and marking assignment materials. * Visiting Scholars will be very beneficial to the students in demonstrating that even with very different problems to solve, good researchers have a common scientific perspective, regardless of their background in terms of country, language and culture. * Visiting Scholars will be invited to act as referees for the publication of research papers of excellent academic quality, written by the students based on their project dissertations in a series of technical reports. * Talks or seminars given by our visiting scholars will be recorded, and also made available through the EM TTI website, YouTube, and advertised on social media. Funding available and duration Teaching will initially be conducted online but as the situation with COVID-19 improves, on-site teaching may be possible later in the Spring. Fees for online teaching are EUR 120 per day (local tax may apply), for a typical (and not exceeding) 4 hours teaching day. On-site Visiting Scholars will receive a grant of EUR 1,200 per week (local tax may apply), which will include all travel, accommodation, and additional subsistence costs. Scholars paid by other EU funds may not apply. Further details about the grant will be circulated to the Visiting Scholars post the acceptance phase. Online teaching may be as short as one or two days, while on-site teaching is expected to last for a minimum of one week and a maximum of three. We aim to find working arrangements that benefit both the Visiting Scholar and the students.
