Teacher FAQ

After your last day in the cohort, email an invoice to billing@iliad.ac and CC Leonard (leonard@iliad.ac). Iliad's finance team pays it through Ramp.

The first time, Ramp emails you on behalf of Principles of Intelligence, Iliad's fiscal sponsor. It asks for your bank and tax details. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder.

• Your name.
• The cohort and your dates.
• Prep hours and teaching hours, listed separately. For a guest lecture, lecture time includes Q&A.
• Your rate.
• The total.

Use the invoice template, or your own.

These hours include prep.

• Full teaching day, when you lead or co-teach the whole day: 12 h.
• Half day, only the morning or only the afternoon: 6 h.
• Guest lecture, one lecture with Q&A of about 60 to 90 minutes: 4 h.
• TA day, when you run exercises on a day someone else lectures: 12 h at the TA rate.

If we agreed different hours with you, invoice what we agreed. Writing new materials is agreed and invoiced separately.

The rate we agreed with you when you signed up.

Usually not. You keep the IP in the materials you create. You license them to Iliad under CC BY 4.0, so we and others can reuse them with credit to you.

If you'd prefer a formal contract, tell Leonard.

Iliad staff, Iliad fellows and people at Iliad-incubated orgs. Teaching is part of their role. If you're unsure, ask Leonard first.

Usually within a couple of weeks of your invoice. If a payment is stuck, email pete@iliad.ac.

Get Leonard's OK in writing first. He confirms by email what's covered for your trip (flights, which nights of lodging) and up to what amount. Iliad only reimburses what that email covers, so don't book before you have it.

If you can't pay up front, tell Leonard before you book.

• Flights: economy. Seat selection is fine; premium economy, business and first class are not.
• Trains and buses: standard class.
• Lodging: a standard or mid-range hotel or rental, for the nights Leonard approved. If you share a room, claim only your share.
• Getting around: public transport where it's practical, plus taxis or rideshares to and from airports, stations, your lodging and the venue. A rental car needs approval in advance.
• Meals: reasonable meals while you travel, but not meals the venue provides. Ask Leonard if you're unsure what counts as reasonable.

• Anything not in your approval email, or above its amount.
• Upgrades, hotel extras (minibar, films, spa) and entertainment.
• Alcohol on its own, and anyone travelling with you.
• Lodging or commuting in the city where you live.
• The personal part of a longer trip.

An itemized, paid receipt. It shows the merchant, the date, each charge, the amount and currency, and proof of payment ("paid", a zero balance, or your card's last four digits). A card statement or a booking confirmation on its own is not a receipt.

• Hotels: the final folio with a zero balance.
• Another currency: add the line from your card statement showing what you were charged.
• No receipt possible, such as London Tube taps: list each trip and fare in your memo.

Through Ramp, within 30 days of your trip. Expenses don't go on your invoice.

• Accept Iliad's Ramp invite and add your bank details to your profile. No invite? Ask Leonard.
• Email each receipt to reimbursements@ramp.com, or upload it in Ramp. One receipt per request.
• Add a memo saying what it was for, for example "Flights for November Intensive, teaching 12 Nov".

You can be paid in your own currency if Ramp supports it. For Ramp access or payment status, email pete@iliad.ac.

The venue changes by cohort.

• October: Mox, 1680 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. Mox sends you an onboarding form. Under Program, choose "Iliad Intensive".
• November, week 1 (Mon 2 to Fri 6 Nov): an office near LISA, address to follow.
• November, from Mon 9 Nov: LISA, 25 Holywell Row, London EC2A 4XE.

About 10:00 to 18:00. Lectures and exercises alternate, with lunch at 12:30. The home page shows the exact times for the running cohort.

Keep the last 20 minutes for the daily feedback form and a short quiz.

Share your materials (slides, notes, exercises) at least 24 hours before your day, so participants can prepare. Post them in the cohort's Discord channel.

• File the end-of-day log. Rate the day and tell us anything we should know.
• Name anyone who made a positive impression on Who stood out.
