INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!


The Brain Gain Program (BGP) is aimed at bringing professors, assistants or experts in relevant fields
from former Yugoslavia back to the region by inviting them to teach as guest lecturers for 1 week
up to 3 weeks at universities/faculties in Serbia.
WUS Austria is providing funding to enable universities of Serbia to invite qualified academics
originating from the region to lecture courses, which are not available at the SEE university faculties.
Additionally, courses by Austrian guest lecturers can be funded through the BGP.
Applications for the BGP have to be sent to the WUS Office in Belgrade at least three weeks prior to the
proposed lecture. As a rule the BGP selection panel will take the decision on the grant and inform the applicant
on the decision within two weeks time.
In the decision making process priority will be given to academics that come back to their country of origin,
followed by academics that come from countries where WUS Austria operates, and the third group are all
academics that emigrated from former Yugoslavia. Emigrated means, that they left the countries of former
Yugoslavia. Therefore academics that moved from one part of former Yugoslavia to another are not eligible, with
the one exception that they emigrated to Slovenia.
The granted support can cover the following:

Travel costs (including train, bus or plane tickets) up to EUR 800 (max.). The kilometer allowance of EUR
0,356/km will only be granted, if the costs of traveling by car are reasonable. If the guest lecturer travels
by commercial travel agency, travel costs will only be granted for economic class. Expenses for taxi
are not included!!
Weekly allowance of EUR 500 (per week, max. three weeks). Guest lecturers with duration less than a
week need to be separately calculated.

The applying university/faculty is obliged to finance the accommodation during the stay of the guest
lecturer.
Reimbursement: WUS Austria reimburses the costs after the lecturers visit! After the completion of a
course, the final settlement, the receipts for the travel cost, and reports written by the visiting lecturer and the
granted institution (department/faculty) have to be submitted. The submission of the final calculation and the
reports are a precondition for the reimbursement of the project costs. Comprehensive information about the
reimbursement and the respective forms will be sent to the faculty together with the notification on the grant. No
advance payments will be made!
We ask the applying faculty/department to enter the information about their demand for courses in
the BGP database (www.access.ba/bgp) or, in case they are not able to do so, to ask WUS Austria to
enter it on their behalf.
Please submit your application together with the CV of the lecturer to the WUS office in Belgrade.
This application form can also be downloaded from the WUS homepage:

Applications for retroactive support and incomplete application forms cannot be considered!
