“Unite! Teaching and Learning” continues

The initiative “Unite” Teaching and Learning" was launched in the spring of 2021 and proved to encourage collaborations within the community. The upcoming series, which will start in autumn 2021, is filled with exciting new topics that will certainly attract many and help bring the partners together.

This series of 12 pedagogical activities is aimed at teaching staff, lecturers and faculty in all Unite! partner institutions (including Ph.D. students and postdocs involved with teaching), who might be interested in sharing and developing teaching and learning practices. We invite you to meet Unite! colleagues while learning how teaching and learning is promoted at different partner universities.

The activities – webinars, courses and training events – are run by pedagogical experts from the partner universities and are free of charge for the Unite! community. All “Unite! Teaching and Learning” activities are in English. Some of the activities will award credits.
