Financial Support

Under the conditions defined by the Book of Rules on Incentives Policy and Financial Support for Full-time Academic Staff at IUS, full-time academic staff members are eligible for incentives and financial support for: publishing activity, conference participation, professional development, and mentorship of the II or III cycle student.

Scientific Articles

For journal articles, IUS will use the latest Scimago database available at the date of submission of the request to determine the incentives. The amount of financial support depends on the relative ranking of the journal in which it is published, as defined by the Book of Rules.

Books & Book Chapters

For books and book chapters, the latest CERES/EADI ranking will be used with the addition of local, regional, and international publishers not included in the list. In case when academic staff is an Editor of the book, he/she can also apply for financial support for the book. Incentive amounts, based on CERES/EADI ranking, are defined by the Book of Rules.

Conferences (Conference/Symposium/Seminar/Workshop)

Financial support for academic staff is provided for oral or poster presentations. Rector's Office makes an approval decision based on conference relevance in specific research fields. If approved, a period needed for conference participation will be registered as paid leave. The combined financial support given to a member of academic staff for conference participation and professional development during one calendar year cannot exceed a net of 2,000 KM.

Professional development

Academic staff can apply for financial support for professional development in other research/education institutions proving that the course/workshop/training she/he is supposed to attend is largely financed by a source other than the University. In reviewing an application for permission to attend a professional development opportunity, IUS reserves the right to consider and give priority to a range of factors but mostly the joint benefits for the individual and University.

Mentoring

IUS provides incentives for successfully completed mentorships in the second and third study cycles. Incentives are paid based on the mentorship(s) within one academic year according to the criteria set by the Book of Rules. For the mentorships on the second cycle, the mentor is not paid for mentoring only one student within one academic year. For each additional student mentored within the same academic year, IUS will pay 400 KM. The University will pay incentives for a maximum of three second-cycle mentorships within one academic year. For the third cycle mentorship, the mentor is paid a lump sum of 1000 KM per candidate.

Please note that additional rules and conditions apply. For the full version of rules and conditions please consult the Book of Rules on Incentives Policy and Financial Support for Full-time Academic Staff at IUS.
