The International Cooperation Department of Riga Technical University is pleased to announce its 1st International Teaching Week dedicated to fostering internationalization, global collaboration, and excellence in higher education.
International Teaching Week will be held from October 14 to 18, 2024 at Riga Technical University (Riga, Latvia).
It will be not only the opportunity for visiting teachers to deliver lectures at our university but also to expand their professional network on a global scale, strengthen the existing professional contacts, and gain fresh perspectives for further teaching activities at home.
Academics are welcome to propose lectures in a variety of topics. There are several study courses to choose from, for example, Business Analytics, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Design, Logistics, Medical Engineering and Physics, Nanoengineering, Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Entrepreneurship, Economics, Logistics, etc. For more study course options and potential lecture topics, check the list. The teaching language is English.
Further, to make the 1st International Teaching Week as beneficial as possible, each participant will have an opportunity to attend the 65th International Scientific Conference of RTU and several training activities (the final programme will be announced by September 16).
There is no participation fee. However, participants should cover the costs of travel, accommodation and meals. Where applicable, the funding might be available from the Erasmus+ grant distributed by the home university. We invite candidates to check the availability of such funding with their home institution.
Please note that the Erasmus+ programme requires at least 8 teaching hours delivered within the regular courses offered by the host university. However, as several training activities will be offered, it might be considered as Combined Staff Mobility for Teaching and Training, which requires a minimum of 4 teaching hours delivered and training activities at the host university. Upon request, individual meetings can be arranged.
To apply, please complete the application form available at this link. Note that you are required to indicate the topic that best matches your lectures or propose your specific topic for discussion.
▪ Deadline for application: September 13, 2024
Accepted candidates will be put into contact with the lecturers of RTU to define all details of the teaching activity.
