Ellen Bastiaens officially appointed as director of EDLAB
We are delighted to announce that Ellen Bastiaens is now officially filling the role of EDLAB director starting 1 February 2023.
EDLAB is Maastricht University's Centre for Teaching and Learning
In recent months, we have been working to create more coherence between various initiatives for educational innovation and research. The result of these efforts? A proposal to turn EDLAB into a Centre for Teaching & Learning, aligning it with national developments and requirements.
As a Centre for Teaching & Learning, EDLAB will continue to work on themes such as teacher professionalisation and support, educational innovation and research, and the impact of digitisation on education. The honours programme will also remain part of EDLAB, as EDLAB’s mission is to inspire environments that stimulate innovation. All this will happen in close coordination with faculties and central organisational units by creating more connections between various activities.
