In November 2015, Eric Mazur, Physics professor from Harvard and Educationalist, will be visiting several universities in the Netherlands. On November 25th, professor Mazur will attend the University of Twente and share his ideas on Education & Assessment with us in a lunch lecture. Also, workshops will be organized where teaching staff from the 3TU can exchange ideas with Eric Mazur and work on further improvement of their education.

At the University of Twente, the Education Day 2015 will take place on Tuesday November 3rd (in the afternoon). The complete programme will be in English. We want to offer a varied programme: inspirational and practical how-to workshops, a key-note and a think tank. Whether you like practical examples you can immediately work with, or you want to have food for thought: we’re aiming to offer it all. Central theme of the Education Day will be the question how to motivate and engage students in there learning process. Save the date (3 Nov) and follow the program on http://www.utwente.nl/onderwijsdag/

Do you want to learn more about the engineering education innovations at our University? Then you should visit the Innovation Day at the TU/e on Thursday 1 October. Get inspired by expert keynote speaker professor Marc de Vries (TU/e alumnus, TU Delft) innovative colleagues and workshops on different topics such as blended learning and peer feedback.

Teachers often have good ideas in their daily work but tend to have limited resources to actively pursue them. So to facilitate teachers to do this, TU/e has organized the Innovation Fund, for four successive years. This year’s theme is ‘Blended Learning & New ways to supervise education’. Teachers from TU/e who have an excellent idea can submit a proposal. A total amount of €250.000* will be available from the TU/e Education Innovation Fund to support the selected calls.
