e-NOTE: European Network on Teaching Excellence
What is “teaching excellence” in Higher Education? Which different teaching excellence training, promotion and reward schemes exist across Europe? How can a common European teaching scheme look like?
The e-NOTE project seeks to answer these questions. The Department of Political Science cooperates with five other universities and institutes across Europe. Leiden University leads the project.
This three-year project develops best practices in the field of online and offline teaching excellence related to Bachelor and Master teaching as well as PhD supervision. It places particular emphasis on how to implement excellence in teaching and mentoring in the context of COVID and related online adaptations.
Upcoming activity: ’Second PhD Supervision Excellence Training for Academic Staff’, 5-9 June 2023. More information below. Registration deadline May 25.
e-NOTE’s overarching objective is, on the one hand to enhance transparency, coherence and convergence in the field of training, promoting and rewarding higher education teaching skills. On the other hand, e-NOTE aims at stimulating collaboration towards a truly European teaching qualification and reward scheme.
The project will meet these objectives by developing seven intellectual outputs:
- comprehensive mapping exercise of teaching excellence
- common curriculum for teaching training
- best practice guidelines on the curriculum
- implementation and evaluation of pilot common teaching qualification scheme and training course
- blueprint for a common European framework on teaching excellence + online self-assessment tool for universities
- joint training on common Higher Education training and reward of teaching excellence scheme
- handbook for teaching excellence standards recognition
To achieve the best possible results, the project is based on a methodology that combines collaborative approaches, including desk research, stakeholder interviews, surveys as well as qualitative research methods.
An interdisciplinary team of experts from four universities (Leiden, Copenhagen, Coimbra and Charles University in Prague), GGI, a European think tank in Belgium and the Coimbra Group, a network of 40 universities will work towards the creation of a European Network on Teaching Excellence (e-NOTE).

The European Network on Teaching Excellence hereby announce our next Teaching Excellence training for Academic Staff event that takes place online from 9-13 January 2023. The training is organized under the auspices of the Erasmus + Strategic Partnership project E-NOTE. Copenhagen University host the event in cooperation with the universities of Leiden, Coimbra and Charles.
Each day, a specific group is prioritized, Teachers, Developers, Managers and European Institutions and National Agencies. As a participant, you have the flexibility of choosing from the various program panels.
The focus of the training will be on how to do excellent teaching and teacher training and how to ensure a supportive and development oriented environment for excellent teaching and teacher training at a departmental, institutional as well as at a national and international level. The design of the programme takes the variations in stage of development and implementation of Teaching Excellence programmes into consideration. There will be a mix of presentations and workshops with different focus depending on the participants needs.
The event is organized to benefit university management staff, higher education learning and development professionals and teaching staff. The objective of the event is to display good case studies of excellence training, including training curricula development and allow participants to gain hands-on experience through practical workshops. Participants should bring a case of their own to share and develop during the event.
