CIVIS offers for teaching staff and researchers

The CIVIS alliance facilitates and promotes the development of joint teaching offers from single courses like the Blended Intensive Programmes to full degree programs. The team in the "planning and development of degree programs" section at the University of Tübingen advises teaching staff who want to test new concepts in teaching and learning or develop new program concepts. Contact Lorena Popovic for more information.

For questions about stays at the partner universities in the context of teaching cooperations, please contact Lars Banzhaf at the International Office. Further information can also be found on the webpage on staff mobility.

Courses offered within CIVIS face special didactic challenges: They are designed together with teachers from other universities, they are aimed at international students, and they are often conducted in virtual or blended learning formats. Manuel Halseband from the University's Center for Teaching and Learning can advise you with regard to these aspects.

CIVIS places a focus on social engagement. This is also to be reflected in teaching, in which academic learning and social engagement are specifically combined. The Transdisciplinary Course Programme (TRACS) team provides advice on the design and implementation of service-learning courses and offers further information. Contact person: Dr. Iris Nikolopoulos, civic-engagementspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de

When collaborating across borders and developing concepts for joint teaching and research, questions also arise with regard to digital support and digital processes. Many CIVIS activities are now hosted on the CIVIS Digital Campus, including the CIVIS Agora and other, more specialised platforms (including the CIVIS Moodle as a joint platform for learning and teaching). Support request for any of these platforms can be addressed to the CIVIS Digital Campus Support email hotline.

Elsewhere, CIVIS Alliance has launched a project to implement and expand interoperability of digital campus systems among the partner universities with the goal of enabling digitally-supported joint delivery of courses and degree programmes, while also enhancing mobility and recognition processes. In this, CIVIS follows the first tenet of its digital campus strategy, which is to work as decentralised as possible, as centralised as necessary. At the University of Tübingen,  Jannik Seidel is tasked with working on this project. He is also available as a contact person for other concerns regarding digital collaboration in the CIVIS Alliance as a member of the CIVIS Digital Campus Team.

Job shadowing is an opportunity that allows you to exchange with colleagues at another CIVIS institution and to build and expand your networks. It is a valuable way to learn best practices and plan joint projects. Duration and format can be tailored indidually, funding is available through Erasmus staff mobilty funds.
