Funding formats innovative teaching projects

Venturing more innovative teaching! Funding formats for innovative teaching projects and the further development of teaching at the University of Tübingen

The possibility of funding concept teams continues after the ESIT sub-project Innovative Curricula (ICPL) has come to an end. During the pilot phase of the funding formats (2023/2024), innovative teaching projects can be funded. The funding formats for innovative teaching projects are aimed at teachers in the faculties, the interdisciplinary area and other teaching institutions. With a view to possible transfer potential for other subjects, there is the opportunity to provide insight into these project plans.
 

For all your questions on this topic, the team of Dept. III 1 advises and supports you.


Funding conditions

The pilot phase of the funding formats will be continued in 2024/2025.
