New academic opportunities from the Virtual Institute as on 27th September 2017

Dear Vi friends,

I am pleased to forward the following academic opportunities from the Virtual Institute network.

Vi Colombian affiliate member, Universidad de la Sabana, is accepting applications for visiting professors to contribute to its upcoming summer school programme, scheduled for the second and third weeks of June 2018. The International School of Economic and Administrative Sciences' short courses aim to enhance its participants' (undergraduate and postgraduate students, lecturers and professionals in the field) global vision.

Candidates must submit an application letter (English or Spanish) addressed to Hilda Arango de Ortega, Dean of the International School of Economic and Administrative Sciences; a detailed CV highlighting main topics of teaching experience (Ph.D. desirable); and a course syllabus proposal specifying the preferred language of instruction and the methodology that will be implemented (case studies desirable).

Applications must be submitted by October 31 to carolina.velasquez@unisabana.edu.co or andrea.cabrera@unisabana.edu.co, who can also provide further details on the offer.

The university will assist with visa/work permit procedures, and will cover international insurance, travel, accomodations and meals, as well as the materials for the course.


Maria Alejandra Gonzalez-Perez, core Colombian university coordinator at Universidad EAFIT, invites Vi members to submit chapters for the upcoming book "Diversity in Diversity Management."

The book seeks to provide new practical and strategic insights for practitioners, managers, students and policymakers and delve into the strategic nature of policy intervention. Contributors aim to provide critical reflection on current debate areas on diversity and equality in under-researched countries to inform and support evidence-based decision-making for a wide variety of academic and practice-oriented stakeholders. It will benefit higher-education students' learning experience, and provide useful resources to enrich knowledge and learning on diversity and equality in business programs, organizations, and government.

Proposals must be submitted by December 20 to book editors, andrigeorgiadou.ag@gmail.com, mgonza40@eafit.edu.co and molivas@clarion.edu.


Quick reminder:

The deadline to apply for the upcoming Vi online course on structural transformation and industrial policy is October 22!

Please ensure your contact information is up to date (course materials will be mailed here), that have fully filled out your application form, and that you have uploaded your photo, CV and letter of nomination. If you would like us to confirm that your application is complete, contact us at vi@unctad.org. Incomplete applications will not be considered by the selection committee.


I hope you find this information useful, and that you will distribute widely among your own networks.
