Faculty Seminar - Organizational Details
Seminar Design
The 2017 seminar will take
place from June 9 to June 19. The seminar is designed for
faculty members, scholars and
experts who have specialized in International, European and German
studies. The program is heavily scheduled with academic and analytical
lectures by specialists from Berlin universities, government agencies
and other public or private institutions in Berlin as well as with site
visits. Each session is conducted in English and followed by
discussion. Apart from the sightseeing tours included during the
program, there is not much free time for tourist activities. It is
suggested that those who want to add tourist experiences independently
make arrangements for a pre- or post-seminar stay in Berlin.
The program begins in the late afternoon of Friday, 9 June 2017, with
a welcome dinner, and ends after breakfast on Monday, 19 June 2017. The program draft can be
viewed here.
Participants arriving early or departing late must make accommodation
arrangements for the additional day(s) independently. To take full
advantage of the program introduction, participants arriving on the
first day of the seminar are advised to arrive no later than 4pm.
Accommodation and Meals
Accommodation
is reserved based on single-room occupancy, unless the double-occupancy
option is selected on the application. Double rooms are available for a
reduced fee of EUR 200 for those wishing to share a room with another
participant.
Participants requesting a double room must indicate this preference on
the Application Form. This
option is available only when other participants also opt for
double-occupancy rooms.
Meals: Two meals, breakfast and lunch, or
dinner, are provided on a daily basis. The welcome and farewell dinners
are also included in the program fee.
Physical Exertion
Berlin is a big city with an almost perfect public
transportation system. Nevertheless, some moderate walking is involved
to get from meeting places to public transportation stops and vice
versa. Thus, seminar participants should be in good health and have at
most minor limits on physical mobility.
Pre-departure Information
Seminar participants receive extensive pre-departure orientation
materials, including a newsletter, bibliographies of recommended
readings; information on the seminar’s leadership, host institution,
and lecturers; a detailed program itinerary; and safety, health, and
cultural information on Berlin and the sites to be visited.
