We are delighted to announce that the U21 Health Sciences Teaching Excellence Award is now open for applications.
The Teaching Excellence Award is a way to celebrate and reward exceptional scholarship, particularly amongst research intensive universities, across the U21 HSG network. The award is our way to recognise leaders in this area and share their areas of good practice across the network.
The award also helps us to nurture international cooperation, one of U21's key objectives, by offering academics from different universities, and regions, to work together on exciting, interdisciplinary projects.
The award is principally aimed at early to mid-career academics across the U21 HSG. It offers applicants a fantastic opportunity to develop new collaborations, to work internationally and to share their joint expertise with others.
As well as the prestige of winning the award, the award offers two nominees from different universities, and ideally, from different disciplines, funding to attend the U21 HSG Annual Meeting 2023 where the recipients will work together to facilitate an educational workshop.
So, please consider applying, or cheer-on others to apply. This is a great opportunity to celebrate the excellent teaching and learning that happens every day in your institution.
In this regard we invite you to submit an EoI
