Pristina Summer University
Application deadline: April 2004
will organise the3rd and 4th edition of the Pristina Summer University (PSU).
The PSU brings together regional& international professors and lecturers for
three weeks and provides 30 courses in a wide range of academic fields. These
include Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering, Architecture, Mining&
Metallurgy, Mathematics& Natural Sciences, Medicine, as well as subjects in the
humanities and social sciences. Additionally public discussions are organised on
prominent issues in Kosovar and (South) East European society. The first two
editions in 2001 and 2002 have proven to be a success and resulted in spin-off
projects. It established a fertile foundation in terms of infrastructure, local
and international contacts from which future summer universities and other forms
of international academic cooperation can benefit. For example, visiting
professors taught courses at the UP during the regular academic year or are
planning to do so. The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs has awarded the
project full funding until December 31, 2004. The University of Pristina intends
to organise later editions without substantial ATA involvement. Read about the
Aims and Project Setting of the PSU. 600 participants will be accepted at the
PSU 2004, of which 450 from the University of Pristina, 100 participants from
the SEE region, and 50 self-financing international students. Besides an
academic programme, social activities are organised.
