Within the framework of the Call for Innovative Teaching Initiatives – Round four for the 2026–27 academic year, we are pleased to present a Manual to support academics interested in designing 3 ECTS innovative ERUA courses (intensive courses and summer/winter schools).
This Guide is designed to support you in creating high-quality learning experiences that combine academic excellence, innovation, and international collaboration. It offers practical guidance on how to structure a course worth at least 3 ECTS, with clear recommendations on learning outcomes, teaching methods, and overall course design.
Throughout the process, local ERUA teams are available to provide tailored support and guidance.
For further information or to submit your proposal, please contact your Local ERUA Teaching Initiatives Coordinator. Kindly note that internal deadlines may vary between partner universities.
