Development and strategic benefits of learning and teaching centres

Thematic Peer Group Report

Report editors: Manuel João Costa and Helene Peterbauer

In the context of European higher education, learning and teaching centres are generally located within an institution, with their primary mission being to support the development of the institution’s learning and teaching.

This report presents the findings of the 2023 EUA Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Group “Development and strategic benefits of learning and teaching centres”, beginning with a presentation of the centres represented in the group and proceeding by presenting a virtuous cycle model for the continuous advancement of centres. Recommendations accompany each of the model’s elements and, where possible, are illustrated through real-world practices.
