Professional Development Exchange Hub: check the updated list of activities from Sept 25-Jan 26
Want to find out more about the latest educational developments while learning from colleagues from other universities? Then this is your chance to participate in workshops and courses from different universities in the Netherlands.
University teaching staff can develop professionally through a national offering compiled by Dutch universities united in the Professional Development Exchange Hub. From Rotterdam to Maastricht, Amsterdam to Groningen, there are face-to-face meetings, online courses, webinars and hybrid events at various locations and dates.
This allows you to deepen your teaching skills in current topics such as innovative technology, diversity and inclusion, assessment, sustainable development goals or interdisciplinary teaching. The institutions make it possible for teachers to choose from a rich, varied offer that suits their own development and interests, without being tied to a fixed location.
Eligibility criteria for staff to participate:
- You are employed and have formal teaching duties at one of the participating universities
- Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR)
- Leiden University (LU)
- Open Universiteit (OU)
- Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen (RU
- Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (RUG
- Tilburg University (TiU)
- Technische Universiteit Delft (TU Delft)
- Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)
- Maastricht University (UM)
- Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU)
- Wageningen University & Research (WUR)
- In most cases, it is of added value if you have already obtained the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ/BKO).
- Certain activities offered are only available in Dutch or English. To participate in these, you require sufficient proficiency in the language offered.
