The Arqus Alliance invites academics and professional staff from all member universities to apply for the third call for expressions of interest to constitute a new Community of Practice.
The Arqus Communities of Practice (CoPs) are defined as domain-based communities of professionals that come together for bench and peer learning in all areas of institutional activity, as well as to offer staff development opportunities across the nine partner universities.
The CoPs need to involve academics and/or technical staff from at least four out of the nine Arqus universities, and may also include members from associate partners.
Each CoP proposal should include the design of a staff development programme in its specific domain or knowledge area, to be implemented on a continuous basis jointly during the funding period and beyond.
The Communities of Practice constitute the basis for joint institutional learning and transformation within the Alliance. Currently, there are 7 CoPs already constituted that are working on their staff development programmes, enabling collective learning, working on real issues of their concerns and thus contributing to building the Arqus identity.
The results of the proposals received by 29th February will be announced around the end of March 2024. More information about the latest call may be found here.
