Teaching Excellence – a programme to enhance educational quality at the University of Wrocław
We would like to inform you that the University of Wrocław has begun the implementation of the project: “Doskonałość dydaktyczna – program wzmocnienia jakości kształcenia na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim.” This initiative is a part of the European Funds for Social Development 2021-2027 programme, co-funded by the European Social Fund Plus, contract number: FERS.01.05-IP.08-0244/25-00.
The goal of the project is to increase, by 2029, the effectiveness of the University of Wrocław’s activities aimed at rising and maintaining the quality of the teaching process. This will be achieved through investment in the existing quality assurance infrastructure, as well as the professional development of academic staff and doctoral students in four key areas: digital skills, teaching methodologies, the green transformation, and universal design. This will strengthen the quality of education and align UWr’s educational programme with the needs of the economy, the labour market, and the challenges of the modern world.
