Dear Partners & Colleagues,
  
The Romanian-American University has the pleasure to announce launching a new edition of RAU Guest Courses Program for the academic year 2024-2025.
 
The program intends to open a mobility window by welcoming guest professors from our partner universities to give lectures, courses, or seminars in the following fields:
·         Computer Science
·         Business Administration
·         Economics
·         Tourism
·         Management
·         Marketing
·         Law
·         Sports
·         Kinesiology
Please find out more about our program here: http://guestcourses.rau.ro/ 
 
The program is in line with our “Internationalisation at home” strategy, that aims to bring an international dimension to our non-mobile students, by welcoming foreign professors and practitioners from our partner universities and institutions, to share their knowledge and expertise.
This will also be an opportunity for the coordinators and academic staff of our partners to enhance the cooperation between our universities, to share best practices, to teach in an intercultural environment, or to attend lectures and seminars.
 
Program details:
For a higher impact, the guest courses are organized during the teaching period of the academic year:
·         for the fall semester: between October 15 and December 15
·         for the spring semester: between March 1 and May 26
The teaching activities are usually organized as one-week intensive courses, of 8 to 12 teaching hours (the minimum number of teaching hours depends on the framework of exchange: e.g. for Erasmus+ STA the minimum is 8 h / week). Our suggestion is to plan an intensive course for 4/5 days, 2-2.5 hours/day.
 
The professors interested in participating should submit their proposals of titles and content for the course. We suggest planning a general course, open to a diversity of participants (since this is going to be an extra-curricular course, it will be open to all our students, therefore the students might have different backgrounds).
Besides the teaching activities, the program will also include meetings with the academic staff from the relevant departments, as well as other social events, with the possibility to organize cultural trips outside Bucharest.
 
The participants are expected to cover their accommodation, travel, and subsistence costs through an Erasmus teaching mobility grant or other funds (please refer to your Erasmus+ office for further information).
 
 
Please feel free to share this announcement with anyone who might be interested in participating. Should you have any questions or require more information, do not hesitate to contact us.
 
We look forward to welcoming your lecturers to RAU!
