UC BERKELEY: International and Area Studies September 10, 2003 TO: DEANS, DIRECTORS, AND DEPARTMENT CHAIRS FROM: DEAN DAVID K. LEONARD RE: CALL FOR EXCHANGE PROPOSALS FOR CATALONIAN STUDIES PROGRAM The Autonomous Government of Catalonia and the University of California, 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 addressed to Catalan faculty (not available in English) on this program is available through the web at http://dursi.gencat.net/uk/se/beques.htm. It is under Grants and Scholarships for research. Terms for the scholarly visits to Catalan universities and institutions: 1. The program for visits to Catalonia is open to 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 request funding for this expense from their Dean of International and Area Studies. Application Procedures: 1.
