Call, funding for pedagogical development work

24 February 2022

The Strategic Board for Education (UN) announces funding for pedagogical development work for first and second cycle education at the Faculty of Medicine. 679 000 SEK of UNs budget is allocated towards this call. Apply latest by 2 May.

Application could be made for projects that last up to two years; the project should however commence latest by 2022-07-01.

If the project is focused within a specific study program, the gained insights should be applicable/useful to the Faculty's other study programmes. The project can also cover pedagogical development work within first and second cycle education, without any direct association with a specific programme or course (e.g development of methods of new teaching, examination, and reviewing).

Projects that aim to develop medical pedagogical research will be specially prioritized. Additionally, documented collaboration between multiple programmes is meritorious.

A project report, including financial accounting, should be submitted to UN latest three months after the conclusion of the project. Additionally, the applicant is expected to present the project at a UN meeting and the Faculty of Medicine's Teacher´s Day.
