The Lowy International School issues an annual call for hosting visiting professors at TAU.  Visiting Professors will join our campus for part of the semester and teach in person an intensive academic course. The visiting Professor will be entitled to $7,000 – 8,500 for expenses (this amount is meant to include honorarium, flights, and accommodation). The length of the visit would be 2-4 weeks. Please note that the full amount cannot be paid only as an Honorarium and must include expenses such as travel and lodging. Each TAU school is allocated funding for one visitor per year.
 

Additional guidelines: 

• The course taught must be for academic credit (at least 2 credits).
• Only visiting professors that have not taught at TAU in the past three academic years are eligible. However, we may consider supporting again a course that was previously offered under this initiative and proven successful (served a relatively large number of students, course evaluations were strong, was innovative, etc.)
• This initiative is intended to increase the scope of international activities on campus and not to cover existing visits that a school or faculty has already included in their annual plan.
