Develop joint courses and COILs  with EUGLOH funding

What initiatives can be supported?

The learning activity must have an interdisciplinary or crossdisciplinary focus and fall in one or several of the EUGLOH Focus Areas. The pedagogical methods used have to be student centered, innovative and fit for the purpose. The learning activity should help the students to develop their transversal skills. All teams must have teachers from at least two EUGLOH members.Teachers from institutions that are not members of EUGLOH can also be involved, but must have their own sources of funding. EUGLOH funding can only be used for EUGLOH members.

A special focus will be put in the inclusiveness of the developed activity. The supported initatives should aim for creating learning and teaching environments that acknowledge the diversity of learners and teachers, offer opportunities for everyone to learn from one another and engage students in learning that is meaningful, relevant, and accessible.

• Consider that participants will bring with them different experiences of education and other aspects of life
• Provide opportunities for co-creation of ideas, methods, knowledge, and/or resources
• Provide opportunities for students to learn from each other

How to apply for funding

New calls and updated information will be published soon. 

How to find teachers for collaboration

Make use of EUGLOH Connect to find teachers at the other EUGLOH member universities to collaborate with.

Up to €15,000 per course (split between collaborating partners) may be requested to develop a course. In the upcoming call, up to four courses will be selected to receive seed money. Only virtual courses or courses that run as Erasmus Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) will be supported. Any courses developed through this seed money programme should ultimately be offered to EUGLOH students as part of the EUGLOH Courses and Training Opportunities or held as a BIP.

CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY: 

• At least two different member universities must be involved in the creation of a course according to EUGLOH regulations. Teachers from additional members can be involved in the course later as guest teachers. If you will make this course a BIP, a minimum of three member universities is required by the European Commission.
• The funding is intended for staff costs and meetings to develop the course, not necessarily to run it.
• Any courses that are developed will be offered to all EUGLOH students via EUGLOH’s Courses and Training opportunities platform. The course does not have to start running the current year.
• The developers of a course must plan on being able to offer the course multiple times.
• The course should help students develop their transversal skills.
• The course should have an interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary approach and fall within the EUGLOH Focus Areas.
• The pedagogical methods must be student-centred, innovative and fit for purpose.
• The course should be credit bearing and worth between 3 and 7 ECTS and run at either Bachelor or Master level.
• The courses should be designed to have 50 or more students participating.

A COIL is a common virtual component of two existing courses in which students collaborate. Up to €10,000 per COIL (split between the collaborating partners) may be requested to develop it. In the upcoming call, up to two COILs will be selected to receive seed money.

CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY: 

• Two different member universities must be involved in the creation of a COIL.
• The funding is for developing the COIL. Running the COIL will within the regular course budget.
• The COIL should help students develop their transversal skills.
• The COIL should have an interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary approach and fall within the EUGLOH Focus Areas.
• The COIL must make use of existing courses at Bachelor or Master level. Each member will be doing the examination of their own students and follow their local syllabuses.
• The pedagogical methods must be student-centred, innovative and fit for purpose.
• The workload of the COIL should correspond to between 2 and 4 ECTS.
• The COIL should involve a total of 30 or more students from the two (or more) courses involved.
