ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ

Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ is committed to developing educational innovation and wishes to esteem outstanding education as well as good teaching. For this reason, the Executive Board is making available a sum of two million euros per year to support talented members of teaching staff and educational innovations. This amount is allocated via the Utrecht Education Incentive Fund (USO). This year, three themes have been established based on which the projects will be funded: internationalisation, lifelong learning and interdisciplinarity.

Internationalisation

This theme focuses on providing education to an international student body that appeals to students from all layers of society. What are the objectives and target demographics of such education? How are the curricula designed? How can ICT optimally facilitate education for an international student body? How do you ensure that all students feel they are part of a close-knit and safe community? What are the key educational themes (consider connection with interdisciplinary strategic themes and 'big issues')?

For each theme, a consortium will be set up to write a project proposal. Each of the three consortia will submit a project proposal for which they can request a maximum of €250,000. Every UU lecturer can now apply as a consortium member or leader.
