4TU.Centre for Engineering Education organises the concluding event for the Sector Plan for STEM education in the Netherlands subproject 2b: “To jointly offer scientists more opportunities for an academic career with focus on teaching and learning in the context of Recognition and Rewards.” Initiators are Remon Rooij and Perry den Brok, project leader is Sylvia Walsarie Wolff.
Parallel to the Recognition and Rewards programmes at Dutch academia, policy measures are being taken and changes deployed to encourage and support everyone to develop her/his educational talent.
In this particular project, we set out to answer the question:
What are these measures and changes concretely and how are they experienced in the workplace?
At this event, we will talk to representatives from all levels in academia about the perceived educational culture at technical universities and science faculties. In addition, international consultant and researcher on promoting educational culture, Ruth Graham will share her latest insights from longitudinal research on the recognition of education.
We are committed to Recognition and Rewards of academic careers with a focus on teaching and learning. You are an important part of this: what are your experiences? Where are you now in your career? Where do you want to be in ten years? Together we can make many educational innovations possible, we can explore and further improve educational innovations.
Register for this event on 9 October 2024 if you want to join the conversation with colleagues from Dutch universities. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
