The UvA Education Day is a celebration of teaching in which teachers and other colleagues from all faculties can participate. Together we focus that day on the importance of teachers and their teaching as well as current trends within UvA. The upcoming UvA Education Day is on Tuesday 28 October 2025, themed The Academic Compass.

Within the UvA, we promote knowledge sharing, expertise formation and community building with Special Interest Groups (SIGs). With this, TLC Central is building an expertise network focused on shared themes and interests within education, in collaboration with the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies. SIGs regularly organize events around their expertise.
