Staff development and transnational collaboration

This report outlines the findings of a European University Association Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Group, which explored the conditions that support institutions in offering effective staff development for enhancing inter-institutional collaboration across borders. In addition, the group considered staff development organised in the context of inter-institutional collaboration, including but not limited to European Universities alliances.

The group found that a complex ecosystem of key factors needs to be in place in order for an institution to successfully establish transnational staff development. These key factors are presented in a framework covering institutional policy and resource structures, as well as the degree to which learning and teaching, staff development and internationalisation in staff development are valued.
