Participants of the INGENIUM Staff Academy workshop
Each event will be hosted by one of the INGENIUM Universities within the 10 Days of INGENIUM framework. The Staff Academy events consist of ten individual sessions, each lasting an hour, with one from each partner university. The sessions are based on proposals submitted by INGENIUM staff implementing innovative learning methodologies or those wishing to develop them in cooperation with others.
The Staff Academy sessions allow participants to gain and enhance their teaching and facilitation skills by providing additional time for hands-on learning and interaction with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and fields. It will also provide an appropriate framework for knowledge sharing and transfer, offer new networking opportunities, and open avenues for enhanced cooperation with the INGENIUM network. Staff Academy Webinars Throughout the academic year, INGENIUM organises several public Staff Academy webinars where there are 1–3 short case presentations on cutting-edge teaching practices, followed by a lively discussion and Q&A session. The webinars unfold on Zoom and are hosted by the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk). If you work in an INGENIUM university and would like to present your idea, please book your spot via our Booking Calendar a couple of weeks before the webinar. The organizers will get in touch with the speakers before the event and tell them more about the arrangements. Webinars in autumn 2024:

The criteria are broken down into specific aspects and rated on a scale, making the evaluation process more objective.
