The GTC sabbatical semester enables teaching staff to take (partly) a leave of absence from their normal teaching duties to work intensively on a teaching project, to investigate methodological and didactic approaches, and to (further) develop innovative teaching and learning concepts designed to improve teaching skills.
- All JGU employees engaged in teaching are eligible to apply.
- The maximum funding is € 10.000 (in special cases up to € 25.000). This funding is to be primarily used to compensate the faculty/school for the staff member on a GTC sabbatical and to pay for student assistants, if necessary.
- Please note the application deadline for the winter semester (May 15) and summer semester (December 1).
Next application deadline: May 15, 2025.
Further information can be found in the call for proposals and the application form.
The previous “Sabbatical Semesters” are listed on the German website of the GTC.
