The European University Association is currently looking for member universities to take part in its 2026-2027 Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Groups.

Across the overarching theme of ‘Learning and teaching in a world of transformation’, each of the three groups will delve deeper into one particular topic.

  • Engaging students as co-creators in learning and teaching
  • Embedding 21st century skills in learning and teaching
  • Preparing students and teachers for a world marked by AI

The deadline for applications is 29 May 2026.

The main objectives of the EUA Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Groups are:

  • to discuss and explore practices and lessons learnt in organising and implementing learning and teaching in European universities;
  • to contribute to the enhancement of learning and teaching by identifying key considerations on the selected theme.

The groups provide participating universities with an opportunity for peer-learning and exchange of experience, while contributing to EUA’s policy work on learning and teaching, e.g. in the context of the Bologna Process.

The work of the groups will also feed into the 2028 edition of the European Learning & Teaching Forum, organised by EUA in February.
