- Increase the visibility and impact of your teaching
What kind of courses are we looking for?
We are looking for courses targeted at all students in the following priority areas: European Values, Sustainable Transformation, Future Intelligence, Global Health and Transversal Skills.
Special Call: EPICUR Hubs Courses
With the launch of the EPICUR Hubs (Kick-Off on 8 April 2025), we are especially interested in courses, workshops and winter schools focused on Sustainable Transformation and Transversial Skills, including: science communication, project management, digital skills, science communication, resilience, adaptability, innovation and entrepreneurship, with an additional focus on Research Skills, such as scientific writing, publishing, responsible research conduct, grant writing, and Citizen Science.
Who are the EPICUR Hubs for?
Primarily for Early Career Researchers (doctoral candidates, postdocs, up to junior professors) and master’s students considering a career in research.
Timeline: The Hubs pilot will run from April 2025 to March 2026, so ideally course offerings would fall into this time frame!
Please feel free to forward this call to colleagues who may be interested in offering innovative and international education—whether by proposing new courses or by opening EPICUR seats in existing ones.
We look forward to receiving your proposals and working together to make Autumn and Winter 2025/26 a memorable and impactful semester for all EPICUR students.
