CATALONIAN STUDIES PROGRAM
CALL FOR EXCHANGE PROPOSALS

The Autonomous Government of Catalonia and the University of California at
Berkeley are pleased to invite as part of the Gaspar de Portolà Catalonian
Studies Program agreement, applications from University of California
faculty for scholarly visits to Catalan universities and research
institutes (see list below). The purpose of an exchange visit would be to
interact with colleagues in Catalonia and to give lectures about one's own
scholarly work. UC faculty also may wish to be aware of a generous program
that also allows Catalan scholars to be sent to UC, which they can access
through the Office of the Director General for Research of the Commissioner
for Universities and Research, in Barcelona. Complete information on this
program is available through the web: http://www.gencat.es/dursi/prof00.htm
Terms for the scholarly visits to Catalan universities and institutions:
1. The program for visits to Catalonia is open to all faculty on all
campuses of the University of California. No particular language
competence is required.
2. The duration of any given scholarly visit may be from one to four
weeks, with a preference for two weeks. Visits should take place between
1st October and 30th June.
3. The faculty member will be expected to give at least one lecture at
no less than two universities or research institutions for each week of the
visit.
4. Faculty may propose visits on any scholarly topic, although it is
hoped that at least half the visitors will be doing research on
agriculture, technological development, environment, health, or society and
government.
5. The final selection of faculty visitors will be made in Catalonia by
the Office of the Director General for Research of the Commissioner for
Universities and Research in consultation with the Catalan universities and
institutions.
6. The accommodation costs for the stay in Catalonia will be met
through the Office of the Director General for Research, in cooperation
with the universities or research institutions involved. No stipend or
honorarium will be provided.
7. The costs of air transport between California and Catalonia
generally will be the responsibility of the faculty members or their home
university. Faculty at the University of California at Berkeley may
