Circle U. Communities of Practice: Exchange and Innovate!

The European university alliance Circle U. is calling for the creation of Communities of Practice (CoPs). The aim is to bring together administrative, teaching, and research staff with shared interests to exchange best practices. Have a topic you’d like to explore with your European peers? Apply by 30 April!

The Circle U. European alliance brings together Université Paris Cité, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, King’s College London, UCLouvain, the University of Oslo, Aarhus University, the University of Belgrade, the University of Pisa, and the University of Vienna.

Circle U. Communities of Practice (CoPs)

Circle U. Communities of Practice (CoPs) provide a platform for university professionals eager to collaborate and exchange ideas on shared topics, such as integrating new technologies, innovative teaching methods, and inclusion.

The activities carried out within these communities of practice may include workshops, seminars, and sessions for sharing best practices. They will enable you to collaborate with your European partners towards a common goal, set by yourselves, to advance practices in your community’s field.
Flexible, CoPs offer their members the opportunity to engage at their own pace, with virtual or in-person meetings, ensuring active participation while accommodating everyone’s professional constraints.

A CoP has already been created around the theme of language teaching! An event will be held on 2–3 June in London to discuss best practices and new pedagogical approaches in this field. Would you like to learn more about this event? Contact us at circleu.iro@u-paris.fr.
