Paul Celan Fellowships for Translators January - June and July - December 2002 Objective The Institute for Human Sciences (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen or IWM) is an independent, international, and interdisciplinary center for advanced study. IWM regularly invites academics to translate important works in the humanities or the social sciences from an Eastern into a Western European language, or vice versa, or from one Eastern European language into another. To date over 50 translators from 15 countries have been invited to work at the Institute. The purpose of IWM's Translation Program is to help fill the gaps in the relevant literature in these fields, thus promoting an exchange of ideas between the East and the West or within Central and Eastern Europe. The program bears the name of the poet and translator, Paul Celan, whose work - perhaps more than any other's in this century - thrives on the diversity of European cultures and also mediates between them. A jury of experts meets each year to evaluate applications and select finalists. The Program is supported by the European Cultural Foundation, Amsterdam, and the City of Vienna. In the past, it was also sponsored by the Central and East European Publishing Project, Oxford (1987 - 1994), the Getty Grant Program (1994 - 1996) and the Ford Foundation. Conditions As a rule, finalists are invited to spend six months (January - June or July - December) at IWM as Visiting Fellows in order to complete their projects. IWM places a stipend of ATS 160,000 (Euro 11,627) at their disposal which covers the expenses of their stay in Vienna and provides them with an office, a PC, and access to IWM's in-house as well as other relevant Viennese research facilities.

The 3rd Baltic International Summer School The Baltic International Summer School (BISS) is organized by Vidzeme University College located in Northern Latvia. Vidzeme University College is relatively new and small, established in 1996 to stop the intellectual brain-drain of the northern region and contribute to reforms in higher education in the Republic of Latvia. The school with its 450 students is considered elite. Students have endured tough entrance exams and fought for highly competitive openings at the school. The Baltic International Summer School offers a variety of intensive courses on Baltic matters, especially tailored for foreign students and teachers. Due to the 50-year long Soviet occupation, the Baltic countries are not so very well known to the outside world. The Baltic International Summer School will help foreign participants gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Baltic countries. During 3 intensive weeks courses on a wide series of Baltic topics will be offered by university teachers and other qualified professionals. Courses in English: on Baltic Politics, Northern European Nationalism and Identity, Northern European Security and Foreign Policy, Russian Policy in the Baltic Sea Area, Baltic Economy and Law, Baltic History, Baltic Tourism and Geography, Baltic Folklore, Baltic Music, Baltic Art, Baltic Philosophy, Baltic Food and Drinks, Liv History, Culture and Language, Prussian History, Culture and Language, Latvian Language and Literature, Estonian Language and Literature and Lithuanian Language and Literature. BISS students are typically housed in the dormitories in the city of Valmiera that is within walking distance of the University buildings. These buildings are located close to the picturesque Old City, pleasant park areas and the beautiful Gauja River. Students, teachers and other persons interested in the Baltics, Baltic Sea area and Northern Europe, are offered the opportunity of getting scholarships for taking part in the Baltic International Summer School (BISS) from July 21st to August 12th, 2001. Information available on: http://www.va.lv/biss/index.html Both the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science and our university college offer a series of scholarship for candidates from all European countries.

The Master of Arts in German and European Studies (MAGES) The BMW Center for German and European Studies (MAGES) at Georgetown University is devoted to the interdisciplinary studies of Europe.

With no more that 20 students in each incoming class, MAGES students receive individual attention in core courses with low enrollment. In addition to the core curriculum, students create their own concentrations by choosing their electives from a menu of courses offered by the Center and visiting faculty, as well as other departments throughout Georgetown. Students also have the option of applying for a joint MAGES/Ph.D. in Economics, German, Government (International Relations or Comparative Politics tracks), and History. If you need more information, visit the Center's website at: http://www.georgetown.edu/sfs/cges/ or contact Ms Tara Cambell, Supervisor of Academic Programs by email at campbetp@georgetown.edu. ____________________________________________________________________ 7. Salminter, Escuela Salmantina de Estudios Internationales Salminter was created in 1986 to show a modern Spain to all those who are interested in the Spanish language and culture. Many still think of Spain in terms of clichés. The Spaniards believe that there is no better way to dispel this impression than by getting to know Spanish life and culture through the Spanish language. Spain, no doubt, appeals to many people as does LatinAmerica. At Salminter, they feel that Salamanca, through the Spanish language, represents a bond between Europe and the Americas. At Salminter, the experienced Spanish teachers understand and try to find solutions to all linguistic and adaptation problems that students might encounter in a foreign country. Courses offered at Salminter: - Intensive Spanish Course - Spanish Language and Civilization - Spanish Culture - Business Spanish - Preparation course for the Spanish Ministry of education and science examination. Initial, Basic and Advanced Spanish as a Foreign Language Diplomas (D.E.L.E.) - Translation - Individual Classes - Special Programmes Additional information: SALMINTER Calle Toro, 25 - 1o E - 37002 SALAMANCA, Espana Tel.: +34 923 211 808 Fax: +34 923 260 263 Email: salminter@helcom.es Http://www.salminter.helcom.es _____________________________________________________________________ 8. Courses for Adults in Irish Language and Culture OIDEAS GAEL was founded in 1984 to promote the learning and use of Irish and to foster Irish Culture within the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking areas) and elsewhere.  The annual programme of courses and events achieves the further aim of bringing together people of Irish and other Celtic backgrounds to participate in everyday Gaeltacht life, improve their fluency in Irish and enjoy our living culture. Courses: CÚRSAÍ GAEILGE / Language Courses OIDEAS GAEL Language courses are specially constructed to cater to adults at all learning stages, including those who are more advanced but in need of practice. Each course contains three or more levels - beginner, intermediate and advanced - and is usually of one week's duration. CLASS TUITION is by specialist teachers who use graded courses, supported by modern audio-visual resources, as well as other proven methods of language teaching. The daily schedule consists of intensive morning and afternoon tutorials with attention directed toward spoken Irish (except for some units at the highest level), aiming at correct pronunciation, proper idiom and development of vocabulary, particularly contemporary. Our aim is to foster conversational ability and fluency, with some 45 hours of tutored sessions per course. Recreational activities such as dancing, poetry, or guest lectures take place each evening, after which everyone can practise Irish with people from all levels while enjoying the craic in the local pubs. The social format of the courses ensures that people attending on their own will quickly feel comfortable and at ease within the group. It has been the experience of the Directors that those who have followed a two-week programme have succeeded in achieving a marked improvement in fluency. The courses are officially recognised by the Department of Education. TEANGA & CULTÚR / Language & Culture The Language & Culture Summer School provides morning language tutorial sessions at all levels. The afternoon session consists of workshops such as tin whistle, set dancing, hill walking, sean-nós singing, or participation in study groups that examine particular elements of Irish Culture. All workshops are under the direction of specialists in these activities. Evening events include lectures on Irish folklore, poetry readings, song and traditional music concerts. CULTURAL ACTIVITY COURSES These are organised in a bilingual form, which makes them equally attractive to people with little or no Irish and people who have Irish. All courses offer participants an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy an activity holiday within a rich cultural setting. SPECIAL COURSES & GROUP ARRANGEMENTS Irish courses are organised during the year at beginner and intermediate levels by special request. OIDEAS GAEL also offers group study programmes for universities, companies, social clubs and other organisations who would like specialist courses on the Irish language, culture, archaeology, environment, folklore, weaving or other disciplines. Combination courses are also organised by special arrangement. Accommodation and travel can be arranged to suit particular requirements.
