EUGLOH Seed Funding Programme
Call for applications for pedagogical development and training opportunities targeting academic staff within the EUGLOH Consortium
The EUGLOH Alliance opens a call for applications, targeting the development of pedagogical training opportunities in the framework of the “Transnational Teaching and Learning” working group and the “Educational development programme” task. This team is responsible for reflecting and promoting joint pedagogical innovation in the EUGLOH Alliance and advancing inter-institutional knowledge and cooperation in this area. It is focused on creating common ground between partners, regarding teaching and learning processes, exchanging best practices, as well as building teaching staff capacity to design and co-create innovative educational resources and courses for interculturally diverse and multidisciplinary audiences - in digital and inclusive classrooms.
The objective of this call for proposals is to support the development of joint innovative training opportunities for academic staff active in teaching and learning, at the EUGLOH partners. The training opportunities supported are targeted to academic staff and will contribute towards increasing the pedagogical competence among the academics of the EUGLOH partners, as well as to strengthen the Alliance dynamism, driving bottom-up initiatives.
The purpose of this funding programme is to encourage collaborations between partners, making effective use of resources to support the development, test and implementation of high-quality training offered by the Alliance, as well as transfer best practices and knowledge of innovative teaching and learning practices in Higher Education (HE).
The programme also provides an opportunity to encourage academic staff to connect and create international contacts, among Partner Universities. Thus, the programme also aims to encourage “peer to peer” collaboration and accelerate the development of joint projects, within the EUGLOH Alliance.
Through this call for proposals, EUGLOH will support curricular development and co-creation of courses that have the potential to contribute to building academic staff and partner Universities’ capacities. This call aims to offer the Alliance community the opportunity to fund the development of pedagogical training initiatives, and inspire academics while ensuring EUGLOH’s key goals of achieving a multidisciplinary and mission-oriented approach to Global Health, seamless mobility for staff across nine partner universities located in all four geographical corners of Europe (North, South, East, West), promotion and strengthening of European values, a permanent dialogue among world-class pedagogy and innovation, and prepare today’s academics for the digital and green transitions, for Europe’s recovery and future resilience.
We invite all interested staff (course developers, designers, teacher training staff) to apply with proposals based on a strong co-creation approach, so as to reinforce links between partner universities and to capacitate EUGLOH’s teaching staff community.
Applicants must have an active contractual link or affiliation to one of the Partner Universities, within the EUGLOH Consortium, which will be validated by the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of origin. The seed funding applies only to academics and researchers with active contractual link to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and their Associated Entities within the EUGLOH Alliance.
Training opportunities can be proposed within one of the following eligible topics (section 2), identified by partners, with a high degree of flexibility, so as to strongly encourage innovation. For all the identified areas, proposals must include training of academic staff in using new information and communication technologies and will have English as the language of instruction. The training opportunities may be specific to a certain pedagogical and scientific domain or more general. These training activities developed will be expected to run during 2026 or onwards.
