Summer Academy in Leipzig for U.S.-American Faculty in German

The Summer Academy in Leipzig for U.S.-American Faculty in German, co-sponsored by the German-American Fulbright Commission and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), aims to offer professional development in areas relevant to the teaching of German including German languages, literatures, and culture as well in professional and higher education. 

The program is geared towards U.S.-American Faculty in German, preferably teaching full-time at smaller colleges or institutions that offer German as a major or a German/ German Studies degree. Preference will be given to younger faculty members who have not had a similar experience in the last five years.

All program costs, including accommodation in private homes, costs for instruction, field trips, materials and health insurance, will be covered. In addition, up to $1,400 per participant for international travel costs will be provided. Participants will also receive a per diem for meals but should expect to incur moderate daily expenses.
