Arqus Joint Programme Invites to Staff Trainings
One of the goals of the Arqus European University Alliance is to develop joint programmes at all levels based on the results of the previous project period and on bottom-up proposals from partner universities. To support interested academic and administrative staff in this endeavor, the team of Arqus Work package 6 has designed a series of training courses at different levels and on different topics relevant for the design and implementation of joint programmes.
The team of the Arqus European Alliance is therefore pleased to invite all interested individuals to the Arqus Joint Programme Trainings.
The first three trainings are designed as modules that can be attended separately or consecutively and are open to academic and administrative staff on departmental and central level that are interested in the design and the development of joint programmes but have no extensive experience in implementing them.
The training courses are held by experts in the field of joint programme implementation from Arqus partner universities.
Module 1: A very initial introduction to the why and how
Tuesday, February 27, 2024, 10am – 11.30am (CET)
Participants will be introduced to the concept of joint programmes focusing on their rationale and motivation to set them up. Terminology will be investigated to enable participants to distinguish between several traditions and common (mis)understandings of joint programmes. First steps such as identifying partner institutions and main elements of joint programmes will be presented to lay the ground for participation of module 2.
Module 2: Preparing the grounds for a successful programme implementation
Wednesday, February 28, 2024, 10am – 11.30am (CET)
Participants will be familiarized with the first stages of developing an Arqus joint programme. A roadmap will outline how to get to know one’s partners on a level that allows successful collaboration. Internal and external stakeholders and their involvement will be discussed as well as how to effectively communicate and reflect functions in a governance structure.
Module 3: Preparing relevant documents
Friday, March 1, 2024, 10am – 11.30am (CET)
Participants will gain an oversight on document types needed to implement joint programmes. They will be introduced into the general content and procedures of these documents. A brief summary on options of accreditation will be offered. All the information provided will be tailored to Arqus partner institutions and their regulations.
The training courses take place virtually on Zoom, access links and further information will be sent to all registered participants.
