Wanted! Educational innovations for the Comenius Leadership Fellowship and the Dutch Higher Education Award

29 April 2022

Do you have ambitious innovation plans that will benefit more than just the students of your own degree programme or faculty? Or are you aware of an outstanding educational innovation that has already been developed on a small scale and would be valuable for the whole university? If so, you can nominate this educational initiative by contacting Anna Terra Verhage, policy adviser at Strategy & Academic Affairs, by 16 May at the latest.

Why are we requesting nominations?

Every year, the university submits two exceptional nominations for grants that celebrate innovation in education. These grants are the

  • Comenius Leadership Fellowship and
  • the Dutch Higher Education Award.

Both grants are awarded specifically for exceptional educational innovations designed by passionate educational teams that have the potential to improve higher education.

The initiatives should preferably already have been implemented on a small or medium scale and, using the funding associated with the Comenius Leadership Fellowship or a Dutch Higher Education Award, they should be capable of being rolled out to other faculties, the entire university and/or even to other higher education institutions over a period of three to five years.

This year, we have decided to request submissions earlier in the year – even before the official call has been issued and the invitation has been received. This will allow us to provide timely support in the preparation of the nominations.

The initiatives nominated will be considered by the Rector and Vice-Deans to be submitted as nominations from our university for the Comenius Leadership Fellowship or the Dutch Higher Education Award in the forthcoming round (2023) just after the summer or for a future round. So, don't hesitate to submit your educational innovation!
