Research-Oriented Teaching: Inspiring the Next Generation
EPICUR extends a warm invitation to established researchers and seasoned professors to join our community and contribute to the advancement of research-oriented teaching, as well as the professional development of future researchers and early career researchers. Your expertise and mentorship play a pivotal role in shaping the academic landscape and fostering the growth of the next generation of scholars.
EPICUR is currently testing and implementing innovative new formats in the context of the EPICUR Hubs, which will offer a new portfolio of research and transversal skills courses and training programmes. Contribute to workshops, seminars and training sessions that equip master’s students and early career researchers with the skills they need to succeed in academia and beyond.
Participating as teaching staff in EPICUR’s research-oriented mobility programmes will allow you to forge new connections with other researchers and educators from across Europe, paving the way for future joint research projects and the exchange of knowledge across borders and disciplines.
In addition, you can get financial support from Erasmus + for Staff Training opportunities in Higher education.
Join us in shaping the trajectory of European education and research. Please contact our coordinator for research-oriented programmes, Kirsten Rosa, to find out more about how you can get involved.
