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.

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.
