Faculty Seminar - Organizational Details
Seminar Design
The seminar will take place from
25 June to 5 July, 2010, eleven
days. The seminar is designed for faculty members,
scholars and experts who have specialized in International, European and German studies
as well as in environmental
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 on their own.
The program begins in the late afternoon of
Friday, 25 June 2010, with a welcome dinner, and ends after breakfast on
Monday, 5 July 2010. The draft program 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 at an
Academy Hotel in Berlin.
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.
