The STINT Teaching Sabbatical is a programme that offers researchers and teachers the opportunity to spend the autumn semester at one of STINT’s thirteen partner institutions in Botswana, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and the USA.
The programme aims to develop both individuals and institutions. By providing researchers and teachers who are passionate about teaching with international experiences based on their role as educators—rather than as researchers—STINT seeks to contribute to the renewal of higher education and the creation of new networks.
More information about the programme and the call for applications, as well as reports from previous fellows, can be found on STINT’s website: STINT Teaching Sabbatical
