The European University Association (EUA) organises the first European Learning & Teaching Forum that will facilitate the exchange of experience on learning and teaching in higher education among EUA members and other interested stakeholders.

In order to prepare and complement the Forum, EUA will also organise thematic peer groups on learning and teaching. Pompeu Fabra University has appointed Prof. Manel Jiménez, director of the University’s Center for Learning, Innovation and Knowledge, to be part of the thematic Peer Group “Building a link between research and teaching missions of the university”.

The main objectives of the thematic peer groups from which the CLIK and the UPF community will benefit are:

• To identify core principles for successful learning and teaching across Europe by taking into account the changing higher education environment
• To exchange good practices in various organisational, educational and qualitative aspects of learning and teaching
• To contribute to the enhancement of learning and teaching at European universities.

In the group, Prof. Jiménez will interact with homologue experts of the Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany), the Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University (France), the University of Sheffield (UK), the Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), the Silesian University of Technology (Poland), the University College Cork (Ireland) and the University of Borås (Sweden).

The European Teaching & Learning Forum will be organised on 28-29 September 2017 by EUA in collaboration with the Conférence des présidents d’université (CPU) and hosted by University Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC) in Paris, France.
