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.
